If you can edit or browse the file in TSO, you can search using a picture string:
Code:
Example - ===> find p'?' 1 find non-blank in column 1
A picture string is a quoted string that is preceded or followed by the
letter "P". It can contain blanks, alphabetic and numeric characters
which represent themselves, or any of the special characters listed
below, each of which represents a class of characters.
= any character . invalid characters
@ alphabetic characters - non-numeric characters
# numeric characters < lower case alphabetics
$ special characters > upper case alphabetics
? non-blank characters
The command would be:
Code:
F P'?' ALL
? can be found using SHIFT and the number 6. This would not count blanks. If you want to include blanks:
