Finding internally described phy

Presuming you have PDM,
* do a WRKMBRPDM libraryname/QRPGLESRC, type in 25 in the option for the first
member you see, press F13 to replicate that option.
* OR do a WRKOBJPDM libraryname QRPGLESRC, type in 25 in the option for the
for the file.

then, pressing Enter to get the Find String prompt, scan for an 'I' in column
6.  In RPGLE, I-specs are restricted to file input specs and, unless your shop
does a lot of renaming input file field names or level break processing, this
should catch all of your apps that have internally described files.

If you had multiple position scan capability, scan for 'F' in column 6, 'F' in
column 22, and 'disk' in columns 36 - 39.

Does anyone know of an easy way to scan through a few hundred members in
QRPGLESRC and find the gems that have internally described physical files in
them???  Unfortunately I can't just scan for the file names because
somewhere along the line someone made all of our files externally described
but left some internal descriptions laying around  [mostly to rename
commonly-used field names in the attempt to make even more unmaintainable
code]  :-)
