Simple and delimited strings

z/OS ISPF Edit and Edit Macros
SC19-3621-00

If the string is a simple or delimited string, the characters are treated as being both upper and lowercase even if caps mode is off. For example, this command:
FIND ALL 'CONDITION NO. 1'
successfully finds:
CONDITION NO. 1
Condition No. 1
condition no. 1
coNDitION nO. 1
Also, all of these commands have the same effect:
FIND 'Edit Commands'
FIND 'EDIT COMMANDS'
FIND 'edit commands'
You must use delimiters if a string contains embedded blanks or commas, or if a string is the same as a command or keyword. You delimit strings with quotes, either ' or ". For example, to change the next occurrence of EVERY ONE to ALL, type:
CHANGE 'EVERY ONE' 'ALL'
Note: When using a DBCS terminal, if you specify a text string that contains any SO and SI characters, the string is considered a character string.
