Jim, How do you want to see the results? For instance, open the PDS using ISPF/Edit or View and then type "SRCHFOR string" where string is what you want to find, then hit ENTER. The resulting scan will place "*Found" in the prompt column. Place your cursor on the Column header, "Prompt" and press enter. This will bring all members to the "top" that contain the string. Go to the last member which has "*Found" beside it and starting with the next member, you have a list of members that do not contain the string.
Will this work?
