If message formatting has been applied, the Find and Replace commands apply to the selected column (field or element) in all messages in the current display with the same format. If formatting was ignored when the queue was opened, the command applied to the same field in all messages.
You must select the field you want to search before you invoke the Find or Replace dialog.
Note: Fields that belong to repeating groups cannot be searched.
To search the contents of a field or element in all messages of a particular type:
Select the column name of the field or element you want to to search.
In the menu bar, select Search
> Find.
The Find dialog appears. The name of the column being searched is displayed.
Type the text (or value) you want to search for.
Click Find.
If the queue contains more messages which are not in the current display, you must retrieve the next set of messages and repeat the search.
To replace the contents of a field or element:
Select the column name of the field or element in which you want to replace data.
In the menu bar, select Search
> Replace.
The Replace dialog appears. The name of the column being searched is
displayed.
In the Find what field, type the text (or value) you want to search for.
In the Replace with field, type the text or value you want to replace the data with.
Click Find Next to find the next occurrence of the search string, then click Replace to substitute the replacement text.
Repeat step 5 until you have found and replaced all the instances in the displayed messages. If the queue contains more messages of the same format which are not in the current display, you must retrieve the next set of messages and repeat the search and replace operation.
Click Apply to apply the replacements.
If you are confident that you have selected the correct column, search string, and replacement value, you can use Replace All to replace all the instances in the currently displayed set of messages. You must retrieve the next set of messages and repeat the operation until you have retrieved all the messages in the queue.
