Title: Finding the right member in a MMF

Problem/Question:
I need to write a CL can search through a multiple member file for certain string, and then copy that member to a work file for editing. My idea was to have the CL accept the string as a PARM, find the member that contains the string, retrieve the member name, and then do a CPYF from that member name.

I've tried FNDSTRPDM, but I can't figure out how to merely retrieve the member name, and nothing else. All I need is the member name that contains the string.

Any advice/experience with this problem would be appreciated.

Thanks,
