The DOWN subcommand moves the pointer a specified number of lines
down.. relative to the end of your data set. For example, to move the
pointer so that it refers to a line located
12
lines after the location
currently referred to, enter:
down
12
The TOP subcommand moves the pointer to the position preceding the
first line of your data set. (For line numbered data sets, the pointer
is set to zero. If line number zero exists, then line number zero
becomes the current line.) TOP is often used in combination with the
DOWN subcommand. For example, if you want the pointer to refer to the
third line of your data set. use the following sequence:
top
down
3
The BOTTOM subcommand moves the pointer to the last line of the data
set,.
The FIND subcommand moves the pointer to a line that contains a
specified sequence of characters. For example, to move the pointer to
the line that contains PLACED BEFORE ENTRY enter:
find xplaced before entry
The "x" inserted before "placed" is a special delimiter that marks
the beginning of the sequence of characters the system has to search
for,. The special delimiter can be any character other than a number,
apostrophe, semicolon. blank, tab, comma,. parenthesis, asterisk, or one
of the characters in the sequence you want to find. The special
delimiter must be placed next to the first character of the sequence you
want to find. Any blanks inserted between the special delimiter and the
first character are considered to be part of the sequence of characters.
An alternate method for specifying the sequence of characters fOr
FIND is quoted-string notation. With this method, the specified
sequence must start and end with an apostrophe. If an apostrophe is one
of the characters in the specified sequence, you must enter two
apostrophes for the single apostrophe in the specified sequence. For
example. to find the character sequence:
single 'quote'
using quoted-string notation, enter:
FIND 'single "quote'"
If you prefer, you can have the system search for the sequence of
characters starting at the same column of each line. For example, if
you want to search for PLACED BEFORE ENTRY in column seven of each line,
enter:
find xplaced before entry x7
or
find "placed before entry • 7
Note that the same special delimiter or apostrophe used at the
beginning of the sequence of characters must also precede the column
number.
