multiple search arguments in one scan?

["Dan Bale" <dbale@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Crud - severe brain fade moment...

I want to test for the existence of one of several characters in a string.

%check lets you check for the first character that is NOT found in the
"comparator".

%scan only lets you specify one search argument.

I need to test a string to see if it has any occurrences of any of the
characters &, %, *, _, or ?

There *is* an easy way to do this in RPG, is there not?

FWIW, on V5R2.
