SRCHFOR does indeed work from ISPF 3.4 . Using 3.4 to list all our PROCLIBs, I just used it to look for a DSN qualifier in any proc in any lib, and it works just fine. It worked when I typed SRCHFOR VMA on the command line, but found no results when I typed SRCHFOR "VMA".

It sounds to me what you need is FIND; when you have 3.4 data set list, the FIND command will locate the name you're after. -- Kind regards, -Steve Comstock The Trainer's Friend, Inc. 303-393-8716 http://www.trainersfriend.com * To get a good Return on your Investment, first make an investment! + Training your people is an excellent investment * Try our new tool for calculating your Return On Investment for training dollars at http://www.trainersfriend.com/ROI/roi.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
