hi ...
can u define the exact format for the record ...
we can search for a string within a string by using INDEX ...
also we can search for string directly in the dataset by using ISREDIT command
"ISREDIT F FIRST"(string to be searched) |

Something like that?
| Code: |
/* REXX */
A = '-1234567-'
IF DATATYPE(STRIP(A,"B","-"),'W') & LENGTH(STRIP(A,"B","-")) = 7 THEN
SAY 'MATCH'
ELSE
SAY 'MISMATCH'
EXIT
