SCNSRCSEU SCAN SOURCE SEU TAASRFI |
The Scan Source SEU command scans one or more members in a source
file for up 20 different arguments. If an argument is found, STRSEU
is used on the member in either *CHANGE or *BROWSE mode. SCNSRCSEU
provides a better function than the WRKMBRPDM Option 25 solution to
review or change members where the same string of characters exist.
SCNSRCSEU is better than the WRKMBRPDM option 25 because:
** You can scan for multiple arguments.
** You can do a generic search of members without entering the
option value for each member to be scanned.
** The ADDBLANKS parameter can be used to bypass false matches.
** A status message describes the sequence number where the first
instance of any argument was found.
A typical command would be:
SCNSRCSEU SRCFILE(xxx) ARGUMENT(ABC DEF)
All source members would be scanned in the named file. If ABC or DEF
appears in any of the source statements, a status message would
appear for 2 seconds describing the argument found and the sequence
number where it was found. SEU would then be invoked in either
change or browse mode.
If many consecutive members are scanned without finding any
arguments, a status message will appear with the member name to
indicate progress through the file.
SCNSRCSEU escape messages you can monitor for
---------------------------------------------
None. Escape messages from based on functions will be re-sent.
SCNSRCSEU Command parameters *CMD
----------------------------
SRCFILE The qualified name of the source file to be scanned.
The library value defaults to *LIBL. A specific
library or *CURLIB may also be used.
ARGUMENT Up to 20 bytes to use in the scan and up to 20
arguments. This is the string or strings that will
be scanned for. You may need to surround the value
in quotes and enter in lower case depending on the
value in the source. Trailing blanks will be
trimmed off. See also the TRANSLATE parameter.
MBR The member or generic member name to be scanned.
*ALL is the default to scan all members in the file.
A specific member name or a generic name may be
entered.
TRANSLATE A *YES/*NO option that defaults to *NO meaning the
argument value is used as is. However, if the
argument value is not in quotes, the value is folded
to upper case by the system command function. To
scan for a lower case value, surround the argument
with quotes and use TRANSLATE(*NO).
*YES causes the source statement to be translated to
upper case before scanning for the argument. If you
are not sure of the case in the source, specify
*YES.
ADDBLANKS The number of blanks to add to the end of the
argument before scanning.
0 is the default meaning the length of the data for
each argument determines what is scanned for.
A value in a range of 0 to 3 may be entered.
The intent of this parameter is to provide for the
situation such as when you want to scan for the end
of a name or word ending in 'red', but you do not
want words such as 'redeem'. Using ADDBLANKS(1)
finds any string such as 'red ' which are followed
by a blank.
OPTION The SEU option to be used. *CHANGE is the default
to invoke STRSEU with OPTION(2). You must have
*CHANGE authority to the file.
*BROWSE may be specified to invoke STRSEU with
OPTION(5). You must have *USE authority to the
file.
LIST A *NO/*YES option for whether a listing should be
output with one line per member where the first
sequence number was found that contained any
argument that was searched for.
*NO is the default meaning no listing occurs.
*YES may be specified to create a listing with one
line per member where the first argument was found.
The sequence number, the argument, and an indication
of whether the member was changed is also provided.
