Hi Philipraju,

I think you must be having a specific library in which all your program exists. Searching that PDS would help you in finding the occurences of a particular variable.

Correct me, if I am wrong.

Hi philipraju,

You can do this.
Just Open the list of Datasets(both PS/PDS) in 3.4.

So should at least know the Highest Qualifier for the Datasets
For Eg: USERID.*

This will list all the PDS/PS .
Now go to command prompt and Type
SRCHFOR yourstring
Note: Make sure none of the data sets are migrated.

This will gives the PDS/PS which have the String.
Now open then PDS and give the command again to find out the Member with the particular string.

This will do you need.

Hi,

The Command SRCHFOR your record works for both PS and PDS.

You can try this command
