We study the spin pair correlation function of the one-dimensional Ising model with competing nearest and next-nearest neighbor interactions, or ANNNI chain, in the presence of an external field. Of particular interest are the disorder lines where exponential decay of the spin pair correlation changes from monotonic to oscillatory. We extend previous studies for higher field values and obtain asymptotic expressions for disorder lines at low temperatures. We also observe reentrant disorder lines.
