SAS/C Software: Changes and Enhancements, Release 6.50

Find Window

When you execute the window find command, the Find window, illustrated in Find Window , is opened. If you have not changed your PF key assignments, you can also use PF17, which is assigned to the window find <> command, to open the Find window. Once the Find window is open you can enter the string to be searched for and the desired occurrence: f (first), n (next), or p (previous). The search is started when you press the ENTER key or any PF key.

Find Window

If n or p is specified in the Occurrence: field, the search begins from the current position of the logical cursor. If this is the first time the window find command is being executed in this window, or if the last time the command was executed was in a different window, occurrence defaults to P for the Log window and n for the Source and Browse windows.

The search string may contain embedded blanks. By default, searches are not case sensitive. Specifying Y in the Case Sensitive: field makes searches case sensitive.

In the current implementation, subsequent occurrences may be found by pressing the PF key assigned to the window find <> command (PF17 by default) twice. The first key press opens the Find window with the search string used the last time, and an appropriate occurrence parameter. The second key press causes the debugger to accept the contents of the window and begin searching.

To abort a search after the Find window has been opened, erase the text of the string.
