I am very much thankful to your suggestions.
I think I did'nt put my question in a proper way.

In a set of jobs..... I want to listout all the FILES
used with the verb "ACCESS".

(FOR EXAMPLE IF THE STATEMENT IS

ACCESS *MERJ0010

I want to list MERJ0010 as my output)

Using print command as
PRINT jobname;SEARCH="ACCESS";NUM
lists all the lines containing "ACCESS" along with the line number.

Is there any string function/method to do this.

Thanks and regards
Giridhar.
