1  SEARCH
   PCA Command

   Searches the source code for a specified string, then displays
   the source line or lines containing an occurrence of that string
   in the output window.

   Format

     SEARCH  [range] [string]
 

2  Parameters
 

range

   Defines the boundaries of the search. If you do not specify
   a range, the SEARCH command searches the module most recently
   referenced with a SEARCH or TYPE command, from the line following
   the last line displayed to the end of the module. PCA can search
   only one module at a time. These boundaries may be defined with
   any of the following formats:

   modname                             Searches the entire specified
                                       module.
   [modname\]line-number               Searches the specified module
                                       from the specified line
                                       number to the end of the
                                       module.
   [modname\]line-number:line-number   Searches the inclusive
                                       interval between the two
                                       line numbers of the specified
                                       module.
 

string

   Specifies the sequence of characters to search for in the source.
   If you do not specify a string, then the most recently specified
   search string is used. If the string contains spaces, tabs,
   commas or parentheses, then it must be delimited by either
   double or single quotation marks. If the string delimited by
   quotation marks has a quotation mark within it, the enclosed
   quotation mark must be expressed as two consecutive quotation
   marks (i.e. If the string delimited by single quotation marks
   has a single quote within it, the enclosed single quote must be
   expressed as two consecutive single quotes (e.g. '')). The search
   is case sensitive depending on the currently set language. If the
   string is not delimited, then the default range parameter must
   not be used and the string may not contain any blanks, tabs or
   semicolons.
 

2  Description
   The SEARCH command allows you to search your source code for
   a specified string. The source line or lines containing an
   occurrence of that string are then displayed. You can use the
   SEARCH and TYPE commands to display specific lines, or a range
   of lines. However, if you have moved your source files, then you
   must establish a source directory search list with the SET SOURCE
   command in order to use these commands.
 

2  Qualifiers
 

/ALL

   Searches the specified range for all occurrences of the string
   and display every line containing the string.
 

/NEXT

   Searches the specified range for the first occurrence of the
   string and display that line. This is the default.
 

/IDENTIFIER

   Names the string as an identifier. The specified range is
   searched for the first occurrence of this identifier. If the
   string (identifier) is bound on either side by a character that
   can be part of an identifier defined by the SET LANGUAGE command,
   then it is not displayed. The search continues until it finds an
   occurrence of the string that is not bound by such characters.
 

/STRING

   Searches the specified range for an occurrence of the string
   without interpreting the context surrounding the string. This is
   the default.
 

2  Examples

 PCAC> SEARCH/STRING/ALL COBOLTEST "D" 40:50
 40: 02    D2N    COMP-2 VALUE -234560000000
 41: 02    D      COMP-2 VALUE  222222.33
 47: 02    DRO    COMP-2 VALUE  0.1
 50: 02    DR5    COMP-2 VALUE  0.000001

     This command searches for all occurrences of the letter D in
     lines 40 through 50 of the module COBOLTEST, and displays the
     result.
