Considerations
•
VFIND is not case-sensitive. If, for example, you specify
VFIND var "The"
VFIND locates the first occurrence of The, the, THE, or any other combination of
uppercase or lowercase T, H, and E. For case-sensitive operations, you can use
the string-handling functions.
•
If string contains TACL metacharacters, the setting of the #INFORMAT built-in
variable (for input to the IN file, including input to an interactive TACL process) or
the ?FORMAT Directive on page 5-6 (for text in TACL prog the #INFORMAT Built-
In Variable on page 9-197 or the ?FORMAT directive.
