  table element.

  Format 2 -

   SEARCH ALL src-table [ AT END stment ]

       WHEN { elemnt    { IS EQUAL TO } arg }
            {           { IS =        }     }

        { stment [ END-SEARCH ] }
        { NEXT SENTENCE         }

 2.1 - src-table

  is a table identifier.

 2.2 - stment

  is an imperative statement.

 2.3 - elemnt
