Hello Terry,

regarding QSHELL utilities.

They do work in QSYS.LIB.  You must remember that files are treated as
directories when using IFS path names.  So:

 grep -c 'EXFMT' /qsys.lib/shcsrc.lib/showntell.FILE/*R.MBR

returns:

 /qsys.lib/shcsrc.lib/showntell.FILE/CLRDR.MBR:0
 /qsys.lib/shcsrc.lib/showntell.FILE/DUMPR.MBR:1
 /qsys.lib/shcsrc.lib/showntell.FILE/SHWCMDHSTR.MBR:2
 /qsys.lib/shcsrc.lib/showntell.FILE/SHWFFDR.MBR:5

etc.

grep does not recurse through directories but you can achieve that effect
by typing the following incantation (change the path to suit your system):

for PATH_NAME in `ls -d /qsys.lib/shcsrc.lib/*`
do
SEARCH=`echo ${PATH_NAME}/*.MBR`
grep -c 'EXFMT' ${SEARCH}
done

NOTE:  The ` quotes in the above are really graves (that thing under the
tilde, which is that squiggle above the TAB key).  The ' quotes are really
apostrophes.  Press Enter after typing each line.  It will run after the
word 'done' is processed.

You could also stick this in a shell script and make it generic.  Dontcha
jus lurve nix!  Excuse me while I throw up!

Regards,
Simon Coulter.
