Is SORT your only option? If not, REXX or SAS, or other languages can do this for you very easily.
Otherwise, You are stating you have a file LRECL=5000. Within this file, each record has a STRING. Is it just one string you are looking for or multiple? The STRING could be as follows A,B,,X,Y,STRING,A,B, and so forth to the end of the record? A,B,,X,Y,STRING,A,B,STRING,C,X,Y,W,...,STRING and so forth to the end of the record? The string only occurs ONCE in each record or more that once? Do you need any editing once it is found? Do you need to have the record number written where the string or strings were found? Do you need the position written out where the string or strings were found? Do you need a new line written out when the string is found? For example: On line 20 in position 100 String STRING was found On line 20 in positions 100, 1001, 3000, 4500 string STRING was found Is the string, BINARY, CHARACTER, or other? A little more detail on your goal for this process will be helpful.
