Ron - the LIKE needs a percent sign - string it into the hex literal - x'6C' is 
the percent symbol.

WHERE MINLOC LIKE X'6C4E6C' 

Or try 

where posstr(MINLOC, x'224E20') > 0

Really bad grammar. Try again. 

From what I can tell, the characters are usually X'224E20'. It almost 
seems like if these are some key-stroke combination that is not recognized, 
but I'm not sure what they would be.

occurences, but I can figure out how to specify the select for the LIKE. 
Here's my statement: 

SELECT PLT, ITMID, MAJLOC, MINLOC FROM ccsdta/dcsilm WHERE MINLOC 
LIKE X'4E'
