And you want to execute it with a REXX or CLIST?

[bodhi]

When I select option 3.14, and select Batch execution mode, I get the following JCL:

Select all

//SEARCH  EXEC PGM=ISRSUPC,PARM=(SRCHCMP,'ANYC')
//NEWDD  DD DSN=MY.PDS,DISP=SHR
//OUTDD  DD SYSOUT=(A)                                       
//SYSIN  DD *                                                 
SRCHFOR  'STRING'                                             
SELECT #1,#2,#3,#4,#5,#6,#7,#8,#9                               
/*

Probably input for ISRSUPC.....
