I think You can find the special character in a string using INDEX function.
DCL DATA1 BIN(31,0) INIT(0);
DCL STRING1 CHAR(10);
STRING1 = 'ADCF@EFGHI';
DATA1 = INDEX(STRING1,'@');
IF DATA1 = 0
THEN PUT SKIP LIST('SPECIAL CHARACTER NOT FOUND');
PUT SKIP LIST('DATA1:', DATA1);
HERE DATA1 WILL RETURN '5' SINCE @ IS PRESENT IN THE 5TH POSITION OF THE STRING. |

YOu can use VERIFY to check the existance of SPL characters.
DCL specialchar char(12) INIT('!@#$%^&*()_+}{|" ><');
DCL input CHAR(15);
IF VERIFY(input,specialchar) = 0
THEN /* there is no special character in input variable*/;
ELSE
/* special character used */;
You can include any character, you think is special, in the init of the specialchar variable. See usage of VERIFY for more info.
