Effect
The MATCH LINE addition saves the number of the row in which the last substring
was found (using FIND IN TABLE)
to the data object mlin. mlin expects a variable
of the data type i. If the substring is not found, mlin keeps its previous value.
For searches in individual table rows, the other additions have the same
meaning as in the statement FIND for elementary character strings or byte strings.
If the RESULTS addition is used, the row numbers of each find are saved in
the component LINE of the matching table row of result_tab or the row number
of the last find is saved in result_wa and the rows of result_tab are sorted by the columns LINE, OFFSET, and LENGTH.
