Looks like I'll give using QSYS/QADBXREF a try.

Subject: Batch Finding Files using Wildcards

We have a number of files that we have copies of saved with a prefix to it. For example:
FILEA, FILEB
ABCFILEA, ABCFILEB
XXXFILEA, XXXFILEB

This is the case across multiple libraries, and the prefixes can be virtually anything, although I know it's always 3 long.

What I'd like to do is something like:
WRKOBJPDM LIB(MYLIB) OBJ(*FILEA) OBJTYPE(*FILE) However this isn't allowed in batch mode.

I have a CL program that is going to spin through our libraries to work with these files. What I will be doing with these files is probably renaming them, creating a new file with the same name, and copy map/dropping the data back in then deleting the old file.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks,
