Looking For A Search Engine

2006-06-28 Thread David Shein
Does anyone know of a program that will search a set of MVS data sets for a member and/or text within a member? I am looking for something that can run in batch and search a large number of data sets in a single operation. Does the CBT tape or some other venue have a tool that will do that?
