Parameter Description
SETTING location Returns the location of the string. If the search is not successful,
execution depends on the presence of the BY clause:
If the BY clause is included, the array is assumed to be sorted,
and a location is returned indicating where the element should be
inserted to maintain the array in sorted order.
If the BY clause is not included, the array is assumed to be
unsorted, and the location returned is of the last element plus
one.
THEN statements END THEN (optional) is executed when the search is successful.
Multiple line THEN or ELSE statements require an END
keyword.
ELSE statements END ELSE (required) is executed if the search is unsuccessful.
Multiple line THEN or ELSE statements require an END
keyword.
Note: The syntax for BASICTYPEs P and M differs in the number of array elements
you can include and the search driven by those elements. Syntax variants for P and
M are as follows:
LOCATE element IN dyn.array [BY search.type]
SETTING location [THEN statements END] ELSE statements END
and
LOCATE Parameters (continued)
