Re: Search OS/400 Physical Files

You can't give this API a file name that I know of - Dave is looking for something to search physical files from a list like one of the PDM things or form WRKF - which has none of this, either.

QCLSCAN is, however, wonderful for searching in variables - and could be used to write a search app for files, it seems.
