Finding a string in a window

You can search for strings in the Source, Monitor, or Log window. You can specify where to start the search, to search either forward or backward, and, for the Source window, the columns that are searched. The default window that is searched is the window specified by the SET DEFAULT WINDOW command or the Default window entry in your Profile Settings panel. The default direction for searches is forward. For the Source window, the default boundaries for columns are 1 to *, unless you specify a different set of boundaries with the SET FIND BOUNDS command.

To find a string within the default window using the default search direction, do the following steps:

  1. Type in the FIND command, specifying the string you want to find. Ensure that the string complies with the rules described Syntax of a search string.
  2. Press Enter.

If you want to repeat the previous search, hit the PF5 key.
