Re: Search/Replace iSeries Members

I've never found this in WDSC or RDi - this is one place where SEU can 
do it better - put 25 on all your first member in WRKMBRPDM, press F13 
to put 25 on all members, then hit Enter. Put in the search text, enter 
2(edit)  for the member option, and hit Enter again.

Now is the cool thing - in the first member, press F14. Put in your 
replacement text in the 2nd line, select the replace-all option (if you 
dare), and say Y to allowing data to move. Then hit F17, F3, Enter. Do 
the same in each successive member - F17, F3, Enter. Lather, Rinse, 
Repeat - is that right?

The options you set on the first member are maintained with all members, 
as I recall.
