I tried the FNDSTRPDM command but it requires you to specify a file and a library list. &nbsp;I want to search ALL files in ALL libraries so this won't do the trick.<br />
<br />
Any other suggestions?

In preparation for a softare upgrade, I need to search all files / libraries on my AS400 for a certain string. &nbsp;This string could be contained in CL and / or RPG programs. &nbsp;I used STRPDM &nbsp;to scan and I got some results however, I could not scan the entire AS/400 as I need to (unless I am using the utility incorrectly?!) &nbsp;I had to qualify a file and library before it could scan. &nbsp;What is the best way to determine every instance where this string is found?

In preparation for a softare upgrade, I need to search all files / libraries on my AS400 for a certain string.  This string could be contained in CL and / or RPG programs.  I used STRPDM  to scan and I got some results however, I could not scan the entire AS/400 as I need to (unless I am using the utility incorrectly?!)

AS400 scan all files / libraries for string

Operating systems perform basic tasks, such as recognizing input from the keyboard, sending output to the display screen, keeping track of files and directories on the disk, and controlling peripheral devices such as disk drives and printers. For large systems, the operating system makes sure that different programs and users running at the same time do not interfere with each other. The operating system is also responsible for security, ensuring that unauthorized users do not access the system. Operating systems provide a software platform on top of which other programs, called application programs, can run.

Operating Systems

IBM i, formerly known as AS/400, is a proprietary, midrange, object-based operating and application system. It includes a relational database, a menu-driven interface, support for multiple users, block-oriented terminal support and printers, and supports security, communications, and web-based application servers including Websphere, Apache and Tomcat.
