Hi,

Suppose there are so many datsets with high level qualifier abc123.* . I want to search all the data sets starting with abc123. How we can do this? is it possible to do with FILEAID BATCH or any other tool ?

Why do you want to do that? It'll take a lot of resources. Why don't you know where what you want is, with a littler more certainty?

I'm doing an impact analysis and want to see at how many plaaces a particular file is used? And also want to find at how many places a term "merchant" is used.

1.Probably you create a REXX to get the list of dataset and search them

DSLIST 'abc123.*'

followed, on the resulting ISPF 3.4 listing

SRCHFOR 'merchant'
