Re: Finding the right member in a MMF

[Henrik Krebs <hkrebs@xxxxxxxxx>]

I think that the most direct method is to use FNDSTRPDM on a single
member, and then recieve the data &1 from PDM0575 ('&1 members
match').

However what really made me write this contribution is, that everybody
suggest DSPFD -> *OUTFILE to find the members.

There _IS_ the QUSLMBR API-solution (see
http://hkrebs.dk/apiinterfaces.html, but it's complex.

But why not the RTVMBRD MBR([*FIRSTMBR | &MBR] [*SAME | *NEXT])
solution. It's simple (thus elegant) and exactly what is IBM's
intended use of the RTVMBRD MBR() parameter. I bet (not tested) thats
its faster than DSPFD -> *OUTFILE too.
