That's easy...

STRPDM
3 (work with members)
Put in file and library to search
25 (option)
F13 (repeat)
ENTER (will prompt you with FIND STRING screen)

then all you have to do is fill in the info on the find string screen.

For instance put in the FILENAME you are searching for and the position that 
it will be located in the RPGLE file.

It will find every instance of that filename in that position for you.
