Hello Doug,

picking up unanswered questions…

grep: 001-2104 Error found reading from file xxxxx.pdf. Conversion error.

This sounds to me like the IBM i version of grep can't convert between binary (the "CCSID" for binary files like PDFs), and whatever CCSID your job uses.

Can someone tell me if I see this line and only this message line on the
QPRINT entry for the job, does this mean GREP stopped after this message,
or did it continue and find nothing?

I assume that "error" means, it stops.

Is there some type of summary that could tell me how many objects it scanned?

No. Only how many matches it found (grep -c).

:wq! PoC
