Hi ,
I have around 500 COBOL programs in a particular PDS and I need to search for a string 'ES' in all those programs.Can anyone let me know how can I do it.
I have tried SRCHFOR ''ES'' it does not work.I get a INVALID SEARCH STRING error.
| Code: |
Y090 VIEW MSTCMN.ADCS.BATCH.SOURCE Row 00001 of 00339
Command ===> srchfor ''ES'' Scroll ===> CSR
Name Prompt Size Created Changed ID
_________ E0421ACG 938 2001/02/23 2009/10/29 10:58:00 E0421A
_________ E0421ACS 243 2009/08/19 2009/10/29 11:00:00 E0421A |

Yes you can. Just play with the number of quotes used when you specify the search string.
I know it works because I have done this before. |
