Should have tried this on a smaller source file first. It appears a job
log for job QP0ZSPWP was created for every single member. Need to turn off
job logging.

Is there a way to redirect the output on the screen to a file?

I just submit it to batch:
SBMJOB CMD(QSH CMD('echo "Lasciate ogni speranza"')) JOB(QSHTEST)
JOBQ(QS36EVOKE)


Generally speaking, I wouldn't run a complex thing off a Qsh command
line; I'd write a script file. (Talk about someone having a one-track
mind!)

#!/usr/bin/bash
echo "Processing library $1"
for file in /qsys.lib/$1.lib/qrpglesrc.file/*
do
echo $file
cat $file | egrep -v "^......\*.*|^.*\/\/.*" | grep -i "*mdy"
done

I did this using Notepad++ with Unix style line endings. It runs in Qsh
by ./search.sh library_to_search

But the idea wasn't to propose this as the be-all, rather it shows how a
guy with a one track mind can turn any chore into a job for scripting
:-) You could use Perl, Python or PHP to do most of the same things;
probably easier to read too. I just had a mental grip on regular
expressions that I couldn't shake.
