RE: Finding the right member in a MMF

I think I see where my message might have been confusing, sorry guys.  I need to find a certain string WITHIN a MEMBER, not within a member name.  I think this would just help me find a certain string in the member name.

Keep the advice coming, though!  Thanks a lot.

Brad,
 
  Try doing this from a CL prgram:
 
 ===> DSPFD FILE(YOURLIB/YOURFILE) TYPE(*MBRLIST)
OUTPUT(*OUTFILE) OUTFILE(QTEMP/MEMBERS) OUTMBR(*FIRST
*REPLACE)                                            
  
  Then perform an OPNQRY or SQL across QTEMP/MEMBERS.

Search against the field &MLNAME(MEMBER NAME).  If you
need sample code please let me know.
