Specifying the search string z/OS ISPF Edit and Edit Macros SC19-3621-00 |
|
The primary control for any search is the search string because it represents the value for which you are looking. Two operands, string1 and string2, are required for the CHANGE command to specify the new value of the string once it is found. The rules for specifying string1 and string2 are the same, except that if you type a single asterisk for string2, the previous value is used again. You can define string, string1, and string2 to be EBCDIC, DBCS, and mixed strings in any combination. If you delimit a DBCS search string with SO and SI characters, the SO and SI characters are not used as part of the string. If you specify a mixed string that contains no EBCDIC characters, the string is treated as a DBCS string; that is, the SO and SI characters are not used as part of the string. The editor allows you to specify these kinds of strings:
Note: The Edit FIND, CHANGE, and EXCLUDE commands do not work with
a search argument that contains the command delimiter, even if string
delimiters are used. You can specify a hexadecimal search string or
use ISPF Option 0.1 to change the command delimiter to a different
character.
