How to find a string

[selva0202]

Greetings,

I have the following requirement. Can someone will help me in this?


More than 30000 members are available in about 10000 PDS.
Each member has hardcoded dataset name 'X.Y.Z'.

Now the requirement is we have to find out which members are hard coded with dataset name 'X.Y.Z'

This is kind of urgent requirement.


Thanks in advance,

-Selva

10,000 PDSs? I think you have much more serious problems than 'hardcoded DSNs'.

Within each large problem are several smaller problems each clamoring for attention. You must break this process down to its constituent parts. That task is sometimes called 'analysis'. If I were you, I would begin by identifying those 10,000 PDSs -- make a list. Then, for each of those PDSs, develop a memberlist; there are several ways to do this. Lastly, use any appropriate tool to search through each member in each PDS looking for the target string. Report on which members are afflicted.

Four tasks, each still rather large and which certainly each harbor smaller tasks clamoring for attention.
