RE: Question Re: Piping and Redirection

It is interesting to me the FNDSTRPDM works against both source (text) and
data files. grep works only against source files.

I like using FNDSTRPDM to search for anything in anything - like hex
strings in funky PEX tables. You can specify them with the usual
x'dddddddd' format.

So most unix commands are kept general on purpose so that they can be
flexible.  This is where I feel IBM has messed up.  Apparently you can't
use the general unix commands on database files.  This goes against the
design of the commands.  They should have no knowlege of what they are
reading, they just read it.
