The mainframe does not support the caret symbol ^ (shift 6). It treats it as an unprintable character. The caret symbol is used to represent the beginning of a line in the SAS/PERL RegEx. For example.. the code below says: find 1- in the first position in the line/field. DAY_FINAL = PRXCHANGE('S/^1-//',1,DAYTIME_PHONE); Does anyone know how to represent the beginning of the line in a mainframe environment? Thanks so much for any help.
