I need to view only a description of a job that the field contain these letters, RRSNC.

They are always in this order, but can be anywhere in a job description withing the same field though. Can someone tell me how to write a formula to only make the desciption show that has these letters in this order.
For those wondering, they mean, "re-run same no change"

Are you talking about in Select Expert?  Use the "is like" option.  So, the formula would look something like:

Job LIKE "*RRSNC*"


If you are talking about in a formula in a report, say for conditional formatting, then it might look more like:

IF InStr({MyReport.Job},"RRSNC") = 0
THEN False
ELSE True
