I imagine my requirement is simple, but all the examples I see seem to assume you want to replace values in the file.

Basically, I simply want to be able to find a specific string in a specific column in the file and then copy, say, 1000 records from that starting record.

How would I do this (or if you'd prefer, simply give me the keywords I need and I'll experiment on my own)

misi01,

You need a copy of this flowchart which explains the processing order for record handling, exits, statements, and options. Use this diagram with the text following it to understand the order DFSORT uses to run your job.

I actually arrived at the same conclusionas your post. I'll just append my results so anyone else can find it as well
