Re: Search

Seems pretty reasonable to resolve to each file and then each member
in the file, then do the scan yourself programmatically (MI or otherwise).
BUT, for a single or infrequent non-programatical sort of search, there's
command
line options. Based on the post, maybe that's more what you're actually
interested in?

QSH CMD('grep -n main /qsys.lib/kulack.lib/qcsrc.file/*.MBR
/qsys.lib/kulack.lib/c.file/*.MBR')
You could also use the system APIs QzshSystem() to run this or spawn()/wait
() to run this QSH command
and pull the output back from a pipe into your program.
