Hi,

Do you know about FAND and FOR commands?

How to use them in browse mode?

Thanks.

Never heard of them. What does HELP have to say about them?

MrSpock,

The format of FAND is as given below:

FAND (string1,string2,...,string8) parms


For example, you have a program in which you want to find a line where both "LABEL" and "ARE" are present. In this case, this FAND command is very useful as it gives you the desired results with less commands.

Hope it helps.

Thanks.

Do you have a reference link for those commands? I've looked in the TSO/E Commands, ISPF Browse Primary Commands, and ISPF EDIT Primary Commands and I can't find any mention of either one.

MrSpock, I don't know. It works here for me in view or edit mode. Could be a site specific one !

Did you try it in yours?

Thanks.

Hello,

Could be a site specific one !
Surely could be. It is definitely not part of the standard set of commands.

Have you talked with your system support people? Someone responsible for your system should know where this came from - whether it is some additional product or something developed locally.
Hope this helps,

Someone does. . . Someone else on your project, your manager, someone at the help desk, etc.
Hope this helps,

You could do TSO ISRDDN and then M FAND to search the ISPF libraries for a site-written edit macro. Edit macros don't work in BROWSE so that may be your problem.
