Thanks. A small detail I, again forgot, is these are TAPE datasets.  :(
Otherwise this would be a nice method.

Subject: Re: SYNCSORT or ICEMAN

George ,

Just  to clarify ICEMAN is the program name for DFSORT. You can invoke
DFSORT with PGM=ICEMAN. DFSORT's official three character identifier is
ICE, so all of the DFSORT modules start with ICE (ICEMAN, ICETOOL,
ICEGENER, etc) and all of the DFSORT messages start with ICE (ICExxxs).
other sort products(Syncsort, ca-sort) use (SORT,ICEMAN) as an alias.

Coming to your requirement, it is quite easy with batch version of
Extended Search-For Utility (3.15). The "String found" indicator is
mentioned by a numeric and at the bottom of the listing you will find
corresponding dataset name.


//SEARCH  EXEC PGM=ISRSUPC,PARM=(SRCHCMP,'') 
//NEWDD   DD DSN=Your GDG Base name, 
//           DISP=SHR 
//OUTDD  DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSIN  DD *
SRCHFOR  'your search string' 
//*
