Hi,

I need to search below given 9 datasets using "SRCHFOR" command.

Enter ISPF 3.4 and put in your dataset mask
Then on each line command entry put an X in front of the datasets that you want to omit from your search.
Then enter srchfor on the main command line.

On the SRCHFOR entry screen you must select Search option for "Non-excluded" only!

My ISPF manual is AWOL but can you not use another wildcard character to substitute only ONE character - I think it is % so CENAR.MIDWK.EXTRACT%.GSAM
should pick up only the required datasets. Mind you, I do not think I have tried % on a 3.4 file specification field.
