Hi all,

I need to search for a string "reports generated" in 200 pds. Each Pds has around 500 members. Is there any easy way to do it. If i used fileaid or superce, i need to take each pds separately and search on it. Any way to do this at one go...using some jcl or may be rexx.

Pls tell me.

Thanks,
Deepesh

Deepesh,
I do this without using JCL. In option 3.4 give the high level qualifier for all the PDSs. Then on the command line use the command
SRCHFOR 'your search string'

This will search through all the PDSs which are listed. It'll save the search list too.

Puru,
I think, SRCHFOR is a s/w specific for your installation. It doesn'r work at my place. I have heard of SRCHFOR before. I think it is one of the softwares freely available. I forget the site from where SRCHFOR can be downloaded.
