We're probably missing the problem. Are these IP addresses in text form, e.g. 10.1.2.3, or are they in 32-bit binary form, e.g. X'0A010203'? In either case it's easy to search a dataset for these strings with ISPF. Are you looking to do wildcarding, e.g. search for 10.1.*.* perhaps? This is a problem in binary, because the number of false hits rises rapidly as the search string gets shorter, and unless you know the layout of what's in these datasets, you aren't going to be able to distinguish IP addresses from other data.
