Yes.  Qedit works fine, and a bit easier than what Stan mentioned.
(Stan was correct, of course, but based on an older version of Qedit.)

From Qedit 4.5.02,

        /help list,option,use

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Usefiles

  The $use option is very similar to the $include option.  If you specify  the
  $use  keyword,  Qedit  will also search any usefiles for a string.  Usefiles
  are commonly used in PowerHouse source  code,  Qedit  and  Suprtool  command
  files, and jobs streams that run Qedit and Suprtool.

       /list $use "data.def"

  The  lines  that contain the "use" directive must have the word "use" as the
  first word in the line.  Leading blanks are allowed.  Everything  after  the
  word "use" is assumed to be a filename.

  You cannot combine the $use and $include options.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So leading blanks are now allowed (yay! :)

In your case

        /list $use jobA "mystring" (up)

should work fine.


Incidentally, if you want to search ALL jobs -- and their USE files --
for a string, you can do that if you *also* have MPEX.

There is an MPEX script called qedit.cmd22.vesoft .

From MPEX, use

        %xeq qedit.cmd22.vesoft @.jobs, list $include "mystring" (up)

to search for "mystring" (case-insensitive) in all files in the group JOBS.
(I *think* it used to be that if you sent the result to the printer, every
list would show the same filename, but I just tried it and it was fine.)

(The explicit 'xeq' is recommended because many people have UDC's for
'qedit', and command-line parsing selects the UDC name over a fully-
qualified filename :( .)

You can even do this whole thing straight from Qedit if you first

        /set extprog mpex.pub.vesoft com on

Then just enter the %xeq cmd (WITH the '%') from above.
