The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.
If you know of an easy to use, open source, search engine ... please contact support@midrange.com.
I just tried it out - I hadn't tried it on a database file before - so at
least I learned something out of the thread. It throws an "Operation not
supported" result so it looks like it will only operate on Source Physical
files or IFS files rather than tables. Not that my test exactly was
extensive.
I wasn't saying it was "the" answer, I just wanted to understand why it
wasn't applicable in this case (and why it wasn't considered "good enough")
Regards
Evan Harris

I think grep can be a great tool. I'm not sure it'll work on DDS-based files
- QShell seems to have some stuff restricted to single-column files (PFs
created with RCDLEN(nnn)) or source physical files, which are handled like
the single-column files. Again, not sure if grep's input is restricted like
this. It does restrict what you can use for redirection.
