RE: Finding all occurences of a member in the library list

Paul:

<snip>
I would be interested to know of any ideas of how I might be able to
find the file and library name of a member , where that file can exist
several times in the library list. This from an RPG program , so that I
can afterwards do a OVRDBF to the pertinent library/file/member
combination. 

Eg 
LIB1 has QSQLSRC
LIB2 has QSQLSRC
LIB3 has QSQLSRC with the required member 
</snip>


>From RPG you can call API QUSRJOBI, specifying format JOBI0700 (or
possibly JOBI0750 if you need additional information).  I haven't used
this API, so I don't have an example.  From the list of libraries, I'd
call QCMDEXC (or other variants) to execute command
        CHKOBJ OBJ(library/QSQLSRC) OBJTYPE(*FILE) MBR(srcmbr)
for each non-blank entry.  You could also call a CL to execute the
command, passing the library, file and member names.


In CL I'd use the command
        RTVJOBA USRLIBL(&USRLIBL)
to retrieve the user portion of the library list (at V5R3 the field has
a length of 2750:  275 values, 10-bytes each).  Parse through the list
and loop through it, executing command
        CHKOBJ OBJ(library/QSQLSRC) OBJTYPE(*FILE) MBR(srcmbr)
for each non-blank entry.

Hope that helps,
