To do a "FIND" in a ISPF Panel

Hi Guys,

I have coded a small rexx program which displays a ISPF panel with some data in a ISPF table. However, I am not able to do a "FIND" on this panel.

Please advise me on this.

Thanks & Regards,
Pankaj

What are you trying to find, and where ?

I am trying to do a FIND(normal ISPF FIND command on the command line) for a character string which is getting displayed in the ISPF table data on the panel. I am only getting "RFIND" not active.

Take a look at the section for table services in the ISPF manuals.

You can't do a straight FIND command for data in the table.

Yup. Last I knew, you were required to write your own FIND logic as appropriate for your data.

FIND is an ISPF Editor command.

To look for records displayed with TBDISPL, utilize the table services TBSCAN/TBSARG.
