Search for hex timestamp in load modules w/in RDz

Need to be able to search for DB2 timestamps in zOS load modules while browsing the load module in RDz on the workstation. Currently this is not possible due to lack of support for search with host code page

    For recording keeping, the previous attributes were:

    This feature is already available:
    1) You can perform a remote z/OS search
    2) The DB2 timestamp will be located (the exact line number may not be shown)
    3) The same code page specified for the MVS Files will be used.

    This RFE is consistent with our strategy and product roadmap and IBM is continuing to evaluate.

    Attachment (Use case): As you can see I can search for Hex string 1925 in ISPF editor but not in RDz.
