Re: Find files in any library -- MIDRANGE-L

Just a question, do you need to use SQL? Are you attempting to write a
program with this information? I ask because if not, the use WRKOBJPDM and
filter the list.

Shift F5. Put *FILE in Object Type, Put PF-DTA in Object attribute.

As for SQL, we kinda need to know what system version you are using.

I'm used to having a wealth of information available in system views in
various other database platforms but can't seem to find what works for the
AS400.

I tried "select * from syscat.tables where tabname=tabletofind" but
apparently that doesn't exist in the AS400's flavor of DB2. Additionally
SYSIBM.SYSTABLE doesn't seem to exist either.

Thanks!
