Steve, I would not disagree. However, what if the member had been renamed to ZZZCOPxx - then the M ABCCOP* would miss it. So doing the SRCHFOR might be better if the comments inside the members showed the original name of ABCCOPxx. Of course that is an assumption that the member is documented properly inside. Second assumption is the version of z/OS (ISPF) he is on supports both SRCHFOR and Member search. ;-) Lizette ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
