Issue/Introduction

Is there a method to search for a specific keyword in an IDEAL program contained in the VLS source file?

Resolution

VLSUTIL SCAN Function can be used to scan your VLS source library. Note that the VLSUTIL SCAN function is limited to scanning the first 70 columns of a VLS member.

The source transport (IDUTSTRN) utility can also be used as an alternative method. Use IDUTSTRN to export the program to a sequential file, then search for the keyword in the sequential file.
