Error description
Entering a FIND command using as the string 'eex', where x is some integer, causes an S0C4 abend. FM is interpreting the eex as an exponent - albeit an invalid one. It abends because it doesnt handle the 'invalid' value.
Local fix
Exclude all lines. Then search for the 'ee' (with or without the quotes). Next, scan for the integer in the NX (not excluded) lines. e.g. To search for 'ee2': X ALL F 'ee' ALL or F ee ALL F '2' ALL NX Manually scan the 'found' lines for ee2.

File Manager will validate the possible exponent value and bypass FIND processing of numeric fields if the FIND parameter is not a valid exponent.
