To search for data, perform the following steps:

1. Specify the starting address of the area to search by making an appropriate entry in field Œ or.
2. Enter the data string for which you want to search (in field Ž). Specify the data in character (C'character string') or hexadecimal (X'hex data') format. Combined formats are allowed, such as:

   C`'KEY‑CODE'X'FFFF'
   

3. Specify the maximum number of bytes of storage you want searched (in field ). Specify it in hexadecimal format or as a decimal number followed by the letter T.
4. Search backward from the starting location, enter B in field . If you leave this field blank, the default is to search forward.
