string line# count

Discussion

The SEARCH command searches the current source module for the specified string.

If line# is “>”, the current debug entry line is used. If line# is “.”, the current source line is used. Only lines within the current module are searched, so a line# of 1 searches from the module’s first line and a large line# searches the last line. After listing, the current source line is set to the next line to be listed. The current source line is set to the entry line on each debug entry.

Examples

The following example searches the current module for the string “var1.” All source lines that contain “var1” are displayed.

SEARCH var1
