Hi !

I think, i already answerd this question a time before.
Seems to me a well known text.

For this I prefere the IBM utility IPOUPDATE. Only JCL is needed.
I'm a big lazybone, so i mostly use standard utilities, when i can avoid programming.

//UPDAT1 EXEC PGM=IPOUPDTE,
//* PARM='UPDATE'
// PARM='CHECK'
//?INST1 DD DISP=SHR,DSN=Dataset.Name.With.Members
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSIN DD *
OldString<NewString<

Hi Umeysan,

This IPOUPDTE sounds to be pretty interesting.. I just went through a search engine and found some documentation for the same .
http://gsf-soft.com/Documents/IPOUPDTE.shtml

Will try to run in my shop . Anywayz thanks for the info, else I think I have written a similar Rexx code will modify that appropriately and will paste the same in the forum.

Regards,
Vishal
