How to find more than one word by single find command

I wanted to search two words in a program using 'Find' command. E.g. I want to search for lines containing 'IF' and 'EVALUATE'. How can I achieve this. Is there a way concatenating two search in one.
Also do upload if there is a good doc on find commands.

Hello and welcome to the forum,

What you want to do will probably require more than a "find". . .

You should also consider that the IF and the EVALUATE will often not be on the same source line. . .

Suggest you post some example source that contains "hits" and not hits and explain any processing rules.

Well I wanted to find all lines containing IF or EVALUATE

e.g.

IF A =B
Move ...
END-IF
.
.
EVALUATE
WHEN
.
.

I want the find to get lines.
IF A =B
END-IF
EVALUATE

I wanted to view all conditional statements in the code, so is there a way to search both words with one find (F ALL) statement.

How about a small edit macro like this?

Hi,

Also,U can issue X ALL;F ALL <STRING 1> on your ISPF command SO it will show only the lines containg string1.

If u have multiple strings to find out then use X ALL;F ALL <STRING 1>;F ALL <STRING 2>.This will display the result which contains either string 1 or string2 or Both.

Thanks

Thank you for your reply, however it is exactly the same solution as given by Ofer, but entered manually.
