I remembered what I did, however, I don't know if you will be able to use it John.
I was doing a much simpler command: "ISREDIT FIND ALL '('" and it kept failing. What I ended up doing was "ISREDIT FIND ALL X'"C2X("(")"'" Basically, FIND ALL X'4D' Chuck Charles (Chuck) Hardee Senior Systems Engineer Database Administration Information Technology Services Thermo Fisher Scientific 300 Industry Drive Pittsburgh, PA 15275 Direct: 724-517-2633 FAX: 412-490-9230 chuck.har...@thermofisher.com -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU] On Behalf Of Hardee, Chuck Sent: Wednesday, July 18, 2012 1:14 PM To: IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU Subject: Re: REXX ISPF edit FIND failing I know this doesn't help, but I've hit this problem before but can't remember what I did to get around the problem. The problem is specifically the left paren in the find string. Is Dave Salt around? With his tool I'm sure he can answer this question. He had to have come across it at one time or another.

Never mind... I didn't see the "ALL" in the find command. I usually put that at the end and missed it. -- Mark Zelden - Zelden Consulting Services - z/OS, OS/390 and MVS mailto:m...@mzelden.com Mark's MVS Utilities: http://www.mzelden.com/mvsutil.html Systems Programming expert at http://expertanswercenter.techtarget.com/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
