Hi Friends,
Any way to search string
in one library.
If we use SRCHFOR
then it gives error.
Can anyone please guide to search string '82 in PDS ?
I am getting error since closing single quote is not provided in SRCHFOR. I do not want to provide closing single quote since search criteria is limited to '82. |

Try using hex-notation instead -
SRCHFOR X'7DF8F2'
HTH.... |

It seems to me a bug unless Garry's method is documented somewhere on IBM's manual.  |

Within TSO and many other parts of z/OS, two single quote marks (tics) in a string are replaced by one. This can be seen in the JCL Reference manual in section 4.2 (emphasis added by me):
| Quote: |
Special Characters in Parameters
The syntax or parameter description indicates if the variable that you code can contain special characters or not. Parameters and subparameters that can contain special characters not used for syntactical functions usually must be enclosed in apostrophes, for example, ACCT='123+456'. Code each apostrophe that is part of the parameter or subparameter as two consecutive apostrophes, for example, code O'NEIL as 'O''NEIL'. |

| A bug that cracks me up, its been this way for 50 years, look at a good assembler or rexx manual. |
