RE: Finding the right member in a MMF

I like the suggestions about using *PRT, and then copying the spooled file to a file for processing, but the MMF I'm trying to do a FNDSTRMBR on is a data file, not a source file, and *PRT is not allowed with a data file.  I got this message in the joblog:
 
  2700 - FNDSTRPDM STRING('0000423987') FILE(ACHBTRNPF) MBR(*ALL)
  OPTION(*PRT *NOPROMPT)                                        
Find string option *PRT is not allowed for data physical files. 
Error while processing the FNDSTRPDM command.                   
 
Back to the drawing board...

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.
You're on the right track.

Use FNDSTRPDM OPTION(*PRT),

Then go into a loop receiving the EDT0238 messages, deleting the spooled files.
