In Xpediter... is there a 'find' command that will search for a specified string within a data item that has been 'kept' ?

Suppose I'm looking for a literal in a field that's 2,000 bytes in length, but I'm not sure what position it's in....

Thanks for any help...

tcurrier,

Did you try PEEK command?

Yes, but it only shows me field names, no data that's contained within the individual fields....

Is it possible that the PEEK was done before a READ (or whatever causes data to be placed in the fields) was issued?

PEEK shows me basically the same thing that KEEP does.... I see the same amount of data, i.e. first 30 positions of the field.... It still doesn't allow me to do a search for a literal within the field.

I would think that there shouldn't be any reason the FIND 'string' field-name first/last/... command won't work ...

place your cursor on the data and shift right

Unless that was a sarcastic reply, that is exactly what I was trying NOT to have to do ... Very Happy

not meant as sarcastic.

try using MEMORY command.
you still have to visual scan the screen (or the log - access it concurrently)
for your literal,
but MEMORY will display from an offset/field in dump format. no shifting.

you could also code an INSPECT statement
with D in 7 and use the DEBUGGING MODE clause in the OBJ/SRC (?) COMPUTER statement,
so when you are finished you can recompile without DEBUGGING, without changing any code.

The INSPECT 2000-byte-field FOR field-name-in-working-storage(ws-1:ws-2) Tallying ...

field-name-in-working-storage - you can load with your value during a break point
WS-1 and WS-2 can be numerics for reference mod that you would also load during break-point.

let the INSPECT rip and look at the Tally-field.
