Not a trick question. This is more for my users who are too lazy or dumb to use a mix of hex and characters... ;-) >Something like this >//SYSIN DD * > OPTION COPY > INCLUDE COND=(1,500,SS,EQ,X'01F105C1C2C3C4C5') Many thanks. I eventualy used that X'???' format. I don't mind to do all the char to hex conversion myself. There is actually a REXX function just for that. Or I can just enter all fields in Char in a dataset and then use HEX DATA for a copy/paste into DFSORT/ICETOOL JCL. I initially wondered if that is possible using mixed formats ala REXX, but then I remembered OPTION VLSCMP which included short records too where OPTION VLSHRT totally sidetracked me. Eventually I finally got all my results. Many thanks!
