Thanks, I added a comment with a suggestion to simply absorb the message and put quotes around the search string. We shall see, eh?

Sure, I'll put an RFE out there for that. Though it feels a little whiney, here it is in all its glory:

Another example of odd information would be in the %rem help when you use content assist. In bold, you see %REM(numeric:numeric). Then the help goes on about "dividing operands n by m." But you won't see n or m anywhere else in CA for %rem. Well, if you go to the help, you'll see that instead of %rem(numeric:numeric) it says %rem(n:m). I didn't think this was a big deal, but possibly noteworthy.

Glad my reply was helpful - I mean, we're not supposed to deal with green-screen stuff in RDi, right?

Maybe an RFE is in order - so that the RDi search would intercept that message, say, and just put the quotes around the search string.

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.
