Hi Bruce,

Good catch! Unfortunately, the actual data being queried is a long string starting with

"- - - - - - - - - - - -  CONNECTION"

so it's (probably) just a coincidence.  I hope.  Otherwise the documentation is misleading.

Funny while waiting to fall asleep last night, I was wondering if it was supposed to be a tilde ('~') instead of a hyphen ('-'), but as you note, the hyphen appears to be the correct character to indicate a range.

Peter,

First a disclaimer -- I have never used this function so could be way off.
But the '-' used in the expression does just happen to be x'60' in for
instance CCSID 37. Your use of the range directing '-' appears to be
correct, but I just hate coincidences like this...

Again this might be a totally misleading reply to your query.

Keeps finding records with x'60' in the field.

I concocted the regex pattern from what I read on this page:


https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/i/7.3?topic=predicates-regexp-like-predicate#rbafzregexp_like__regexp_likecontrol

but apparently I don't understand it. What am I doing wrong?
