Search results (was When is SEU going away?)

Hi Steve,

I have added your request of producing a report with search results and
making the results printable to our list of requirements.

thanks,

First, you CAN'T run a FNDSTRPDM across multiple source files; you have

to

run it across each one individually.  You can bring up the source

members

in

WRKOBJPDM and do a 25 on each one, but then you have to search every

member

in the file.  Is that what you do?  Or do you search the files

individually?

Do you do your WDSC search one file at a time as well?  Or do you use a
generic file name?  Because the generic file lookup takes a little

while.

I'm just trying to get an idea of if you're comparing apples to apples.

Joe,

In PDM when I am trying to determine the scope of a proposed change, I

use

WRKOBJPDM to display a list of source files, and put option 25 in the
option fields of the selected source file(s), and submit the search to
batch. That produces 2 reports, one showing the lines that match the
search string, and the other showing the names of the source members with

matches. Often I am more interested at this point with the number of
source members found with matches, just to get a handle on the scope of
work. While this is searching I'm doing other things.

I just ran a search in RSE, using Find String on a list of selected

source

files. This is not the way I did it in the past, and this produces a list

that appears to be much more useful. I don't know what search function I
was doing in the past, but WDSC was copying individual source members

from

the I5 to perform the search. Perhaps I was selecting all of the members
in the file, and not the file itself.

Thanks for the time, Joe. This will take some investigation. However the
lack of a report still keeps me tied to my PC, and make the list

difficult

to share.
