### FIND

Command `FIND` will search the input file according to some selection criteria, either specified as command options or set with the `SET` command. The current index will be ordered according to the sorting criteria, set with `SET SORT` command. Some options allows the input file to be updated before the search or to append the results to a previous current index. `FIND` will update the `SIC` variables `FOUND` that gives the number of observations found and `CX_NUM[:]`, a list containing the observation numbers of the current index. These can be used in procedures, as is the case of the pipeline scripts.
