Peter:  Does this have to be done using RPG?  If you're
willing to consider something other than RPG, look at the
"grep" command.  You can specify a regular expression as
a search argument and search through all files in your
folder.  (Invoking a single command to perform your
search is probably a bit easier than writing a specific
program.)
