You can search your IMS database for a string beginning from your current position in the database. You can search all of
the database contents occurring after that position, or you can restrict the search to:
- The current database record
- The parent segment occurrence, including any twin or child segment occurrences (not relevant for the root segment)
- The current segment type, including or excluding any child segment occurrences
- Data between specified record offsets.
Searches can be case-sensitive or case-insensitive.
Note:
- You can search through a database forwards but not backwards.
- When you invoke a search, your current position in the database changes to the last segment searched even if the search operation
fails to find the string you have entered.
