There are several ways. Surely you've read about some of them in the documentation? Or you've searched here? Or done a bit of search-engineing?

By "array" do you mean a stem variable? What do you mean by "string" in this context? When you say you've "referred the data set using array" you mean you've written one line of code, or more?

Read about the builtin functions especially those beginning WORD but also INDEX and POS.
The problem I have is that people can explain things quickly but I can only comprehend slowly.

I think what you want is to execute the srchfor utility. Normally, this is ISPF option 3.14. You can submit a job similar to this:
//MYPDS  EXEC PGM=ISRSUPC,PARM=(SRCHCMP,'ANYC')
//NEWDD   DD   DISP=SHR,DSN=PEDRO.MY.PDS
//OUTDD   DD   SYSOUT=(H)                        
//SYSIN   DD *                                  
SRCHFOR  'XYZ'                                  
/*                                              

You can also use rexx to allocate the required DD names and invoke the ISRSUPC program.
