Is there an alternative to FNDSTRPDM?

Hi Folks,

This is a two-parter.

I'm trying to write some utilities to find hard-coded values in places
like data areas, files, etc.

1. I'm sort of happy with my utility for data areas. I'm using QUSLOBJ
to list *ALL in *ALLUSR of type *DTAARA. Then using QWCRDTAA to retrieve
the data area data and search for my string. No problem.

What I would prefer to do is to use my library list instead of *ALLUSR but
I only want the user libraries in my library list. Is there an API to
determine if the library is a user or system library or do I have to
hard-code the list of libraries found in the "Object (OBJ) - Help"?

2. I'm not sure what to do for *FILEs. I'm using QUSLOBJ to list *ALL in
<lib-parm> of type *FILE. Is there an alternative to FNDSTRPDM? When I
use system(FNDSTRPDM...) it produces a spooled file for every file and
it's just not manageable. I'm looking for an API similar to QWCRDTAA that
will retrieve the data so I can search it and only report the ones where a
match is found.

Any suggestions would be most appreciated.

Thanks,
