Hi Everyone,
This is a part of COBOL program in a dataset.
| Code: |
MOVE WS-B TO WS-A,
WS-C,
WS-D.
MOVE B TO WS-D,
WS-B,
WS-C. |
I want to do 3.14 or 3.15 search for the string WS-B.
If the string is present in the middle of a sentence, i want to have that complete sentence in my output... no matter how many lines that sentence is splitted up in the code like the move statements above which have three lines each. So for the above part, 3.14 search should produce all 6 lines in the output.
Which PARM can i pass in the Searchfor utility to achieve this ? Could some one can help on this ?
Thanks in advance. |

| You cannot, SuperC is not clairvoyant-enabled. |

| Best you can get is if you can get 2-3 lines before and after the match. |

Hi,
how do you identify the start or end of a sentence ?

| The begining of a sentence can be identified by a COBOL keyword and its end can be by a full stop. But full stop may not be required and is optional. But its continuation can be tracked by a comma at end of a line or a hyphen at the position 7. |

Comma does not inidicate a continuatipon. The "-" is not "necessary" unless continuing a literal and can be avoided.
Why you'd expect a comparison product to be able to emulate compilers, I don't know. |

By default, SuperC will print only the lines where the string was found.
If you specify the process option LPSF, it will list 6 lines before and 6 lines after.
If you want more (or less) lines, you can use the process statement LPSFV followed by the number of lines you want to see (between 1 and 50).
These are the only possibilities.
And they are available only in 3.15, not in 3.14 |
