I need to search for few strings in hundreds of Physical Sequential files. Tedious way is to open up the file and search the string using Find function. this is very time consuming. All the files are variable record lengths and the string that I need to search can occur at any position.
Also I need to search for multiple strings and not just one.
Can someone help ? |

For searching a value in the record, you can use SS format as in -
| Code: |
INCLUDE COND=(1,80,SS,EQ,C'FIRSTCOND',OR,
1,80,SS,EQ,C'SECONDCOND') * lrecl=80 |
Since you also said all a variable file, I believe you need to use one step for one file (huh... tedious proces again for writing the JCL). |

| They are variable blocked records but with same LRECL. Also does the above help to search the entire file or only certain columns? |

| Format SS searches in the entire record (i.e., from coulmn 1 to n). So even if you dont know the column value, give the max lrecl in the control card. That should do the trick. |

This is what I gave:
//SYSIN DD *
INCLUDE COND=(1,26620,SS,EQ,C'RP121PSB')
/*
and it gives me the below error
SYSIN :
INCLUDE COND=(1,26620,SS,EQ,C'RP121PSB')
*
WER251A INCL INVALID LENGTH |

Use the above sort card. |

| This option gave me the same error. Do I need to convert the VB file to FB file before I can use search string? |

Chiraag,
I had used SS on FB file before and not with VB. Could it be possible for you convert the VB file to FB first in step1 followed by search in step2? |

Hello,
You are using Syncsort, therefore many of the DFSORT "tricks" will not be available.
Did your process work when you added the
