Title: RE: Finding the right member in a MMF

Doesn't this just give me a file with the member names listed and their attributes?  I need to find a specific string within one of the members, and then work with that member. 

I appreciate the advice.

You can output a DSPFD *MBRLIST to a file, then process the file for the
required results.
