Gil, DFSORT V2R4 Supports Regular Expressions. You can use the following to get the desired results. //SYSIN DD * OPTION COPY INCLUDE COND=(1,500,SS,REH,C'(.*\X011\X05ABCDE)') /* >>This is more for my users who are too lazy or dumb to use a mix of hex and characters... ;-) I initially wondered if that is possible using mixed formats ala REXX, Elardus, If you have DFSORT V2R4 then you can use Regular Expressions as shown above with the mix of HEX and EBCDIC characters.
