Somebody probably has a program to do that but it is so easy in STRPDM do 
place a 25 in the prompt, press F13 to duplicate it on all programs and press 
enter. You can then specify your search string and even the positions it 
would be located in. I use that all the time... quick, easy, fast. Specifying 
the positions that you are looking in really helps to narrow down the search 
so you only find the instances of it you want.

Hope that helps.
