Do you mean FNDSTRPDM? Or is this another NEWS400 utility? I'd like to know
more.

In the Unix world, a program called grep is used to test whether a certain
string is contained in a file, in this case, the output file. I've always

it to be a program or module that can test for the string you want in
whatever file.
