EDIT is an ISPF function, which can be invoked programmatically.
do you mean modify? refer to documentation of the program language that you are using to determine how to 'modify' a record. |

| If by edit you mean , change/replace a string then it can also be done using FileAid without a program. |

In ASSEMBLER you can do it like this:
| Code: |
OPEN (filedcb,UPDAT)
.....
GET filedcb
.....
..... Do something to change the record
.....
PUTX filedcb
.....
filedcb DCB DDNAME=ddname,DSORG=PS,MACRF=(GL,PL),BLKSIZE=0 |

Hi !
@gokuldass
PC370 assembler is diffrent to IBM assembler.
I think this is a mainframe-forum as the title tells.
As you can see at line "DCB DDNAME=ddname,DSORG=PS,MACRF=(GL,PL),BLKSIZE=0" this is ass-code for a IBM environment on mainframe.

Hi !
 @UmeySan
I know this is for mainframe-forum.
Is there any rule or constraint that we should not ask questions on PC assembler ?
Do you know, we can use the same line "DCB DDNAME=ddname,DSORG=PS,MACRF=(GL,PL),BLKSIZE=0" in PC370 assembler also. only difference is the ddname, in pc370 we have to give a dat or txt file.
other's are same only.
I hardly hate this type of replies which irritates me.
So please be kind on answering questions. If you doesn't know please don't answer.
Regards, Gokul |
