Re: Search OS/400 Physical Files

Now I'm lost - what is the find command? It is definitely not a native iSeries command. Or are you thinking of option 5 of WRKF - which is really DSPPFM - and using F16?

This is all well and good, but it does not give you wildcard capabilities. PDM 25 does a much better job.

I may be missing something here, but you can find any string in a file
using nothing more than wrkf and the find command.

You can also map a drive and use the windoze methods if you choose.

The windows method is not nearly as quick as the wrkf method.

Seems like the native OS "find" capabilities are WAYYY outdated and not

anything like the Windoz Search function. And it also sounds like one must
depend on utilities created for other OS's or some other vendor's tools to
accomplish a simple global function like search global for a string which is
native in most other OS's. If true, it doesn't bode well for the IBM i. How
sad.
