Hi Guys,

when we are in view/edit mode in a dataset, we can search using a key in a particular position.

Eg: f 'abc' 12

Here i am searching value 'abc' that starts at 12 th position. Now i have the following questions.

1) If i want multiple keys search means, how can i do??? like i want find 'abc' or 'xyz' that starts in 12 th position.

2) If i want search with many combnations in the same record, how can i ??? Like if i want search 'abc' in 12 th position and 'sasi' in 20 th position, so i must get a record where 'abs' starts at 12 th position and in same record 'sasi' starts at 20th position... how can i do it???

3) If i want get a record where 'abc' starts at 12 th position or '123' presents in 25 th position. How can i achieve in TSO command itself???

Hope i explained my requirements properly, if not please let me know to provide more details...

Advance Happy New year to U all....

Hi mmwife,

thanks for ur quick reply..

i just wanted to find records with my inputs. thats it.. once i get the record, i do something else which is purely for calculation.

My 3rd question is - I want find a record either 'abc' starts in 12th postion or 'xyz' starts in 25 th position. So i need records only having either 'abc' in 12 th postion or 'xyz' in 25 th position.

Hope i gave required info..
