Hello All,

I have a 5000 byte file. It has fillers starting from 3220 bytes till end. I need to search for those records which has a particular string 'XXXXX' at any location between 3220 and 5000 bytes. How can I do this using a JCL. Since the starting location of the strin is not know I cant use Syncsort.

Why can't you use SyncSort? Are you familiar with Substring Comparisons?

Try the following:
Code:
//SYSIN DD *
    SORT FIELDS=COPY
    INCLUDE COND=(3220,2780,SS,EQ,C'XXXXX')
/*
