How do I specify the parameters in Multisearch to find all the instances of a statement. For instance where a specific fieldname is compared to a specific value. i.e.  
RPT-DTL.RPT-NAME = ‘Big Book’ is the same as  
RPT-DTL.RPT-NAME = ‘Big Book’ is the same as  
RPT-DTL.RPT-NAME EQ ‘Big Book’ etc.

Hi,

I would suggest that multi-search is not quite the right impact analysis to perform.

I am assuming that RPT-NAME is a DDM Field…

A DBFILE search for the DDM field RPT-NAME would produce a set of impact results of where RPT-NAME is used.

Then use the INCREMENTAL search for LITERAL ‘Big Book’ and the combination of ‘Only previously impacted statements’

This would then provide all statements with RPT-NAME & the literal ‘Big Book’
