I'll ask the complementary question: in <https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/zos/3.1.0?topic=statement-regular-expressions>, I read: . The period symbol matches any one character except the terminal newline character.
What is the code, hex or decimal, of the character that a period does _not_ match. This should be identified in Appendix D, Table 109. I note that "terminal" used here is ambiguous. It could mean any of: o A keyboard/display I/O device supporting multiple character sets o The last character in a field o The last character in a record. This should be clarified. I understand that as you say the newline character might appear in binary data. -- Thanks again, gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
