NEXT Parameter

The NEXT parameter finds the next occurrence of the entered string.

Note: Since NEXT is the default parameter for the FIND command, you do not have to specify it.

When the target string is found, the cursor is positioned at the first character of the string, and the string is highlighted.

Example

This command scans for the next occurrence of target-string from the cursor position or top of data:

Command ===> find target-string next

CA View searches for the next occurrence of the string target-string, starting at the beginning of the first line being displayed or at the cursor location.

Note the following:

• When the FIND or RFIND command searches only a portion of the data (the search doesn't start at the top of the data) and the target string is not found before the bottom of the data is reached, a BOTTOM OF DATA message is displayed.
• To continue the search from this point, reissue the RFIND command to wrap around to the top of the data from the bottom.
