RE: Need to scan files

["David Morris" <David.Morris@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Rob and Others,

Midrange Guru ran an tip on find and grep a while
back, the URL is:

http://www.midrangeserver.com/guruo/guruo011102.html

The following should work:

find /QSYS.LIB/MYLIB.LIB/Q*.FILE -exec grep 'searchstring' {} \;

Be aware that you will run many jobs doing
this so you might read:

Interesting.  I tried it here and got the same results as you.  Nix on
the
data pf's, but ok on the source pf's.

I know very little about Unix.  So this command will not search through
a
directory?  Thus no ability to search through all the members is a set
of
files.  Therefore it is probably not worth the fight to get IBM to have
this working on data pf's.
