Search-For utility (option 3.14)

Note: For an introduction to the Search-For and Extended Search-For utilities (options 3.14 and 3.15), see SuperC reference.

The Search-For utility (option 3.14) is a dialog that uses the SuperC program to search your data sets or PDS members for one or more character strings. The Search-For Utility panel, shown in Figure 1, is the first panel of the Search-For utility. The only requirements for this panel are:

A string to be searched for, unless you select "Specify additional search strings"
A data set to search, along with a volume serial and password if necessary.

A default listing data set name is provided if you choose not to enter your own.
