You could use windowing.Look at CSRIDAC if you don't want to use assembler.

Hey everyone! I was wondering if there is a way to scan a VSAM LDS for string occurrences? I know that there is no way to see the individual records, but it could be helpful if I could at least dump the data block where the string was found. As an example, something like this: OPTION COPY RECORD TYPE=V INCLUDE COND=(5,24576,SS,EQ,C'MBC$23005X') (I don't know if I need special statements for VSAM LDS...I couldn't find any indication in the docs.)
