Hi Troy,

I'm sorry I didn't post this sooner. For future reference, you can call
this Hawkeye command from the command line (it's DSPSCNSRC). If you prompt
it, you'll find that it will allow you to search for multiple strings (up
to ten, IIRC), you can restrict the search to only certain columns, and
you can direct the results to an output file using either *REPLACE or *ADD
options.

For your project, you might want to:
a) start with a file containing the names & libraries of your source files
(others have suggested using a DSP* command for this, which works great)
b) create a dummy output file for your results (use DSPSCNSRC once on
anything; then clear the file)
c) create a CL (or RPG(LE) if you prefer :-) to loop through your source
file names & do the DSPSCNSRC command on each one, adding the results to
your output file (be sure to monitor for errors, since if the search
doesn't find anything it throws an error)

You'll then have an output file with source file, source library, source
member, sequence number, and statement for all the source statements
containing the info you want. I've used this technique quite a bit, and it
works pretty well (reasonably fast, etc.)

Good luck,
