What I have done in the past to find these records with a selector set is:
Define an alpha field (the same or at least 3 bytes in length) and create a
selector set to say:  field 10       EQ       /D0
Save the selector set, then update it and change the field to the one 
you need to check,
cursor over and the /D0 will right-justify. Save the update.
I've used this on Non-windows platforms only.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Jim
