OK. Build a sandbox, create dummy xml files with "Status" in their first line, and then run the respective commands. Experiment with parameters. Use commands with whole absolute paths. Come back with results and details. If your problems exists only with your sensitive data, and you cannot disclose those, you're doomed. I am / we are not interested in your data, but to analyse that strange behaviour, we need more than an uttered "It doesn't work." As long as there's no data to work on, I'm giving up.
You are finding files ending .xml and for each of them in the order that they are found, you are running your grep The issue you might have is that the grep command working on a single file on some OS version may produce no output if you use the -l flag.
Try adding /dev/null into the grep command so that you always have two files and grep may behave differently.
Note how the /dev/null is part of the grep command, i.e. it's before the \; and so it is taken as an input file. It is not redirecting output to as it is normally used for or redirecting standard input to be reading 'nothing' from.
I need the help! Do to the nature of my job there's only information I can disclose. I do truly need the help! I just tried the find command that just worked from the command line and this is what I got.
Code:
D:/home/dv/daa/ae/pt(104) find . -name "*.xml" -exec -exec ls -al {} \; -exec grep -l "Status" {} \;
find: cannot execute "-exec": The system cannot find the file specified.
D:/home/dv/daa/ae/pt(105)
That's what I'm talking about....

The difference is the wild card! Why would that matter?
The difference is not the wild card; the difference is the -exec -exec. Try changing:

This command line takes 45 minutes and returns nothing!

find . -name "*.xml" -exec grep -l "Status" {} \;
While this one comes right back showing all of xmls plus their details!
The commands are simple. Idk what happened? I installed MKS toolkit on my workstation & ran the code again & it happened on there too. I unstalled & reinstalled MKS & the error was still there...

I grepped for a string from a directory of very large files. This took quite a long time (not a problem). When I grepped for a different string from the same files immediately after, the output was MUCH quicker.
