Assuming you are asking about ISPF Editor FIND command (and not TSO).

You can use the picture flavour of FIND, for example "FIND P'¬'" to find any character that is not a blank.

As far as I know, there is no way to find a string that is "not a specific character".

But you could find all the fields equal to a given parameter and then deduct that count from the total count.

you could use exclude, as in <x all 'a' 10>
then <find all p'=' 10 nx> which would be the number of lines not having 'A' in 10. (count of not excluded lines)

In ISPF edit, exclude all lines, find all lines with the character you want, then FLIP. The displayed lines are the ones that do not have the character.
