Hello All,
Requirement: I have 10 members in a dataset which contains different types of content in those 10 members. I would like to browse that dataset and write to another file if any member contains specific strings. I want to browse the entire member and in entire dataset.

If any through shed some light, it will great help to me.

Thanks,
Srini

I'm not sure what is your exact requirement...

- To search for a string in a PDS you can invoke SUPERC from within REXX, then read the output.
- To browse a dataset (sequential or a PDS member) from within REXX, you can use the ISPF service BROWSE.

we can use ISPF servies from rexx, but it will be helpful for me if you provide me sort of sample code.

I have 10 members in dataset. Each member i have to copy around 10 lines to another file. Like that i want to collect those 10 lines from each member in a dataset and copy to another file

In this case, where only sample is needed, the fine manual will be sufficient. There are lots of examples in it.

Few lines of code in every member should go to only one output file.
For me it doesn't matter whether rexx browse the dataset or edit it.

what are the rules for extracting the lines ??

the lines are like a assigning value to variables.
As an example : CMPCLI1 = CLIT..

Nothing that a simple SRCHFOR wouldn' t be able to do

If the search string is constant then we can for 3.14 but are you saying the same. SRCHFOR? If it is different please let me know the syntax

SRCHFOR = 3.14 = SUPERC = ISRSUPC

might be my fault that not able to clear my question.
I am not going search only one string. secondly each line is different in member itself and even with other members as well.

pls let me know if my question not clear
