Hi,

yes you can search within a position for a string

//SEARCH EXEC PGM=ISRSUPC,
// PARM='SRCHCMP,ANYC'
//NEWDD DD DISP=SHR,DSN=your.fileto.besearched
//OUTDD DD DISP=SHR,DSN=your.listing.file
//SYSIN DD *
CMPCOLM 5:72
SRCHFOR 'string to be searched'

here 5 is the starting position and 72 is the end positon.

let me know in case of any clarifcations and in case if you find any other way.
regards
