Re: Is there an easy way to find a file in the IFS?

If the OS is recent and can install the opensource tools, you can use the "updatedb and locate"
step one: updatedb --prunepaths="/QSYS.LIB /QOPT /QDLS"
step two: locate file.ext

if not able to load them
I like using RTVDIRINFO
then this SQL (adjust the file names as necessary)

SELECT Qaezd0001o.Qezalcsize
,SUBSTR(Qaezd0001o.Qezobjnam, 1, 40)
,Qaezd0001d.Qezdirnam1
FROM Dirinfo.Qaezd0001o
INNER JOIN Dirinfo.Qaezd0001d
ON Qaezd0001o.Qezdiridx = Qaezd0001d.Qezdiridx
WHERE UPPER(Qaezd0001o.Qezobjnam) LIKE '%FILE.EXT%'
ORDER BY Qaezd0001o.Qezalcsize DESC;

Is there an easy way, either from a system command line or a QShell command line, to find a STMF with a given name in the IFS (preferably in a subdirectory of the current directory)? Something analogous to WRKOBJ in the QSYS.LIB file system, or the "find" command in *nix?
