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

   /STEPS=BYTE (default)
   /STEPS=LONGWORD
   /STEPS=QUADWORD
   /STEPS=WORD

   Specifies the granularity of the search.  By default, the search
   is performed on byte boundaries.  Note that the internet driver
   allocates memory on quadword boundaries, so the granularity also
   implies a degree of alignment.
