Key in the desired character string or sequence number to search for
and press the [TRANSMIT] key. The control locates an @ symbol to
the left of the block immediately before the block that automatic
execution begins from.

If this is not the block to begin execution from press either the:

{CONT} softkey to continue to search for the entered character
string or sequence number.

{TOP OF PRGRAM} to return to the first block in the program.

CAUTION: When you exit a mid-program start (search with
memory), M- and S-codes are sent to PAL. If, during normal
execution, that program activated a spindle, mid-program start
may also start it. To prevent this, your system installer can use
the $BLKSTAT flag , which indicates the control is in
mid-program start.
