Finding tables that contain a certain column value

I’m currently working in Oracle 8i and I’m attempting to write an SQL statement to provide a listing of tables where the column_name contains a certain value, but I’m not having any luck.

I can obtain a listing of all the availabe tables with the column I’m looking for, but I cannot filter the listing further for just the column value.

select table_name from all_tab_columns
where column_name = ’JCN’;

I now need to filter the listing further to just those tables that contain the correct value in JCN

Any help would be appreciated.
