   A good IDE that understand the language syntax can search   
   for it. But I must admit that I don't know if LSE or VMS IDE   
   can do it.   
      
   For a zero language knowledge search tool, you could have gone   
   for a regex search, since it must be limited what can come   
   right before and right after Z in the declaration.
