I tried this command that I found in archives, but it's not working for me.

From command line I did STRQSH, then

grep -F -R -i "UPS42500341" /qlansrv/as400/billing/ After a few seconds I
get another $

The first line in the first file in the directory looks like this:

************Beginning of data**
ALS000201/02/15UPS42500341

Any help appreciated. Thanks
