How would I use search in ISPF (3.14/3.15) to find all dataset members that had both of two given strings in it, not necessarily on the same line.

So I want to find all source code members that have both the ADD and SUBTRACT verb in them, for example.

Thanks!

You would probably need to do two searches with the 'LMTO' process option and use a SuperC compare on selected parts of the two output listings.

Just from the top of my head, not really any time to try this out.

Thanks Prino. Someone gave me a solution using a Rexx script that trawls thru each member of the dataset and uses Edit macros to find the 2 strings.
I was hoping there was some Search option to do it more simply.

Extending the suggestion provided by prino, you can search both the strings together as shown in the code below and sort the OUTDD file for duplicate members.

Thanks- we use SYNCSORT so I need to use XSUM dataset to get what I actually want from the SORT step.

Diba's post is not about the sort. It uses the SuperC compare utility.

I believe the posted SRCHFORs will be "or" rather than "and". If i'm able later, i'll connect and try a test.
