Hi All,

Good Morning.

I have a requirement to search a list of PROC's in JCL Libarary and retrieve the Jobname which uses PROC names.

The list of PROC's are located in sequential file.

Can anyone help me out.

Thanks.
Revathi.

Have you tried the search option of ISPF ?

Usually 3.14 on standard ISPF options.

I have nearly 1000 PROC's to search in 20000 Job member libaray. I think 3.14 option in ISPF will consume time.

So, I wanted to do thru' REXX.

Have you read THIS thread ?

Do you mean that you have one PDS with 20,000 members, or 20,000 PDS with numerous members.

Sorry for confusing. I have one PDS with 20,000 members. The PDS contains Jobs and I need to search this PDS for matching PROC's .

almost anything will be faster than REXX i/o ,
and superc has a very smart engine for searches,
REXX will be definitely be slower
You can run in batch, specifying multiple strings,
and only at the end write a rexx to process the result dataset
if the output format does not suit You
