Well, like the "advice" says, issue a INFO DATABASE cmd to find out HOW
to send the LDBASE command.  Eseentially, you must "wrap" the command
in a listserv-JOB.  So:
 
/* --------------------- clip and save ---------------- */
//ListSrch JOB Echo=no
Database Search DD=Rules OUTLIM=2000 f=mail
//Rules DD *
search pmw1 in lists
index
* index owner.30 list.8 sub.4 title.35
/*
//  EOJ
/* --------------------- clip and save ---------------- */
 
For the in-s and out-s of list (and LISTS db) searching, may I
plug the LDBASE-L list (where followup should be directed)?
