Find a Data Name

To search the structure for a specific data name, enter the following command in the DATA= field:

FIND=data‑name

Note: The FIND command is valid only when FORMAT=S.

data‑name

Indicates the data name to be displayed.

The search is applied to the beginning of a data name.

Example

FIND=A9 finds the field named A9‑AREA, but not the field named AREA‑A9.

The search begins with the data name after the starting point and continues until either a match is found or the search has wrapped around to the original starting point. A message signals a possible wraparound.
