I'm running into the same kind of issue when trying to search on a string like
this
1234abcd
On my PC Editor I can use
([0-9]{4})(\w+)
On zOS if I try
f r'([0-9]{4})(\w+)'
I get
No CHARS '([0-9]{4})(\w+)' found
I looked online for how to search on words (which is what \w does) with Posix
and it didn't look like there was an option. But I tried some of the other
Posix specific searches like
f r'[:alpha:]' and it didn't behave like a search for any alphabetic character,
rather it found matches for A and L and P and so on in my file. So not sure if
ISPF Regex is POSIX ERE.
