for using SEARCH ALL your table must be defined with KEY IS
along with the OCCURS caluse and INDEXED BY.

DATA DIVISION.
WORKING-STORAGE SECTION.
01 XXX-TABLE.
03 XXX-TEXT PIC X OCCURS 10 TIMES
ASCENDING KEY IS XXX-TEXT
INDEXED BY AXIDX.

In the above case my table is ordered in ascending sequence.
i can order my table in descending sequence also.

01 SRCHXXX PIC X.
01 XXXPOS PIC 99.

PROCEDURE DIVISION.
Begin.
ACCEPT SRCHXXX
SET AXIDX TO 1
SEARCH ALL XXX-TEXT
AT END DISPLAY "NO LETTER FOUND"
WHEN XXX-TEXT(AXIDX) = SRCHXXX
SET XXXPOS TO AXIDX
DISPLAY SRCHXX " IS IN " XXXPOS
END-SEARCH
STOP RUN.

If data input in non ascending order, the ASC KEY will not
automatically sort the data
