# AskNextImmediate

## Description

This command searches for the first instruction or data byte that contains the specified immediate value. The command is relatively slow (but much faster than the text search), because it disassembles each instruction to find the operand values.

If the immediate value in an instruction has been logically or bitwise negated, then this command will check against the modified value. Example:

```
        mov al, -2
```

will be found if the user searches for the immediate value 2 but not when he searches for 0xFE.

If the checkbox "any untyped value" is checked, then the "value" field is ignored. IDA will look for all immediate values without type in this case.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.hex-rays.com/ida-actions/asknextimmediate.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
