Library /sys$common/syshlp/sda.hlb SEARCH, /STEPS=step_factor  *Conan The Librarian (sorry for the slow response - running on an old VAX)

     This qualifier controls the granularity of searching through the
     specified memory range.  As each comparison of memory occurs, the
     value of this qualifier determines what the next memory location
     to be searched will be.  The possible step_factors are:

         QUADWORD - specifies a step_factor of eight bytes.

         LONGWORD - specifies a step_factor of four bytes.  This is the
                    default value for this qualifier.

         WORD     - specifies a step_factor of two  bytes.

         BYTE     - specifies a step_factor of one byte.
