ManojLenkaMainframes · Posted: Mon Feb 02, 2009 2:28 pm

Dear Team,

Can any one of you forward me a JCL to search for multiple strings in a PDS or PDSE.

Example as below:

I want to find " INSERT INTO TABLE TBLNM" in one PDS.

If I will submit the JCL it will show me all the members containing " INSERT" , " INTO " , " TABLE "and "TBLNM" . The four strings can be present in single row as below:

"INSERT INTO TABLE TBLNM""

OR

in multiple rows as below:

"INSERT INTO"
"TABLE TBLNM""

Thanks
Manoj

Hi Manoj...As told by Enrico..you can search multiple strings in ISPF Search option ,that is 3.14 and select option for multiple strings..

Thank you Abhisek, Anju and Enrico,

As suggested by Anju

Is it possible to put three strings in SRCHFOR

I see only one line as in the attachment.

Hi Manoj...

Anuj.. I guess Manoj has chosen ISPF 3.14 option and has not chosen the Multiple strings option ,thats why he is getting a single string serch line.

Manoj...please chose the Multiple String option you can see the option at the bottom of your Mainfreme screen in 3.14 option.
Else, try the JCL referred by Anuj in this post.

Thanks,
Abhishek
