FIND Command With the Column Keyword

This command has the following format:

FIND column {string|prefixstring PREfix}
  [FIRST|LAST|NEXT|PREV]
  [startcol|startcol endcol]

column: Indicates the specific OPSLOG Browse display column in which you want CA OPS/MVS to search. Valid values are: COLor, Event, Jobname, Msgid, RUleset, Sysid, and User.
prefixstring: Indicates the prefix CA OPS/MVS should use to search for a string in an OPSLOG Browse display column. The prefix must be at least three characters in length. You cannot use the prefixstring keyword to search the COLor display column. If you specify a value for prefixstring, you must also specify the PREfix keyword.
PREfix: Indicates that the value positioned immediately before this keyword is a value for prefixstring.

For explanations of the other keywords shown in the syntax table above, see Keywords for the FIND Command in this chapter.
