Re: Finding internally described physical files

To look for any I specs in QRPGLESRC, do as Bill says, STRPDM, work
with the member for the file, type 25 and then go to that same line and hit
F13 to duplicate them on all lines and press enter.

Then search for the text 'I' From column 6 to column 6.  Also, enter the option
you want to do to the member that it finds the I spec for.  Do you want to edit
the members?  Enter a 2.  Do you want to display it on the screen?  Enter a 5.
Do you want to print the list?  Enter a 'Y' on the Print List option.

Regards,

Jim Langston
