Hi,

I need to find a string in members of a PDS and want to strip the lines in to spool with program names. I got the expected results using below job but I want to have results with n lines prior and after with specific to search string.


Example:

this is line number 1
this is line number 2
this is line number 3
this is line number 4
this is line number 5
this is line number 6


Expected result.

Srchfor 'line3' with 2 lines prior and after

this is line number 2
this is line number 3
this is line number 4
this is line number 5
this is line number 6


//SRCHFOR JOB (,,time,lines),'your name',CLASS=class
// EXEC PGM=ISRSUPC,
//NEWDD DD DSN=your.data.set.name,DISP=OLD
//OUTDD DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSIN DD *
SRCHFOR 'string1'
/*


Could you please help me to find a option for it.



Thanks

Could you please help me to find a option for it

No - once again you have posted without using the code tags despite having been requested to do so. Why should we help you if you do not help us to help you?

Also, your inout and expected results do not match with what you wrote.

let me rephrase the expected result.

Input:

this is line number 1
this is line number 2
this is line number 3
this is line number 4
this is line number 5
this is line number 6



Expected result.

Srchfor 'line4' with 2 lines prior and after

this is line number 2
this is line number 3
this is line number 4
this is line number 5
this is line number 6

And where are the code tags Nic requested?

Code'd and silly line numbers removed.

Two requests for Code tags ignored. One more and I lock this thread

Raja190,
Click on PostReply, click the Code button, backspace the cursor to between the ] and the [, key in some JCL, click Preview. If it looks the way you want it, click Submit. An example follows:

Terry,

I have given tags for each JCL lines, I'm not sure what else you are expecting.

What do you mean by "tags"? I've Code'd your previous one for you. If you click on Quote, you can see what I've done. That is what is meant by the code tags.

Raja190,
Read my post of 10:29 again. I gave explicit instructions on how to use Code tags.
