Re: Source Search with a special character

Thanks, Vern. I haven't done a green screen search in... well years anyway.

Looks like the error detail's talk of a substitution variable for CL or REXX made me think the message wasn't going to help me so I stopped reading it. Of course the last line in the error details held the information I wanted.

What you see is a FNDSTRPDM error message - it says to put quotes around the value - just like green-screen, man!!

That worked for me.

I need to search our source for &Amp, but it seems the source search (little flashlight button) doesn't allow special characters. Is there a way to escape it so it will look for &? Searching on just Amp is likely going to give me a lot of false positives.
