I tried on z/OS 2.1 and got the same result. However online help and the book seem to indicate that % matches on "any character". I take this to mean all 256 possibililties. In the online help, I have found that you can use comparison operators. So I tried: SE <>%* SE <A* The latter should match if no SCHENV is specified, since both "blank" and X'00' should be lower than "A". Neither worked. Nor did a ">A" or ">A*". I could not readily find comparison operators in the FM, only in the WLM dialog help. Not sure if this is new with z/OS 2.1. If you can see this on V1.13, you might want to try '<A*' and eventually open a PMR if it does not work for you either. -- Peter Hunkeler ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
