The %RSE utility searches for every occurrence of a text string in a routine or a list of routines.

%RSE uses %RSEL to select routines. For more information, refer to the section on %RSEL in this chapter.

%RSE searches for text strings are case-sensitive. %RSE issues a warning message if you specify a control character such as a <TAB> in the text string. %RSE confirms your selection by displaying the text string between a left and right arrow. The arrows display any blank spaces included in the text string.

If the output device is a file name with no extension, %RSE defaults the extension to .DAT. %RSE completes processing with a count of occurrences found.
