RE: Need to scan files -- MIDRANGE-L

Actually I was just trying out that theory.....using grep/tail.
Doesn't seem to work for files in the QSYS.LIB file system.

STRQSH
cd ..
cd QSYS.LIB/PRODFILE.LIB

tail DSIPICKS.FILE
tail: 001-2104 Error found reading from file DSIPICKS.FILE. Operation not
supported.

grep -c 'CUSHION' DSIPICKS.FILE
0 <zero returned>

Too bad really.  But I sure understand why IBM wouldn't allow
things like this -- potentially very dangerous.....
