I have a file, DSORG=FBA LRECL=188
The report has 3 headers. The 2nd header has the string "ABC" which I would like to replace with "XYZ".
The string ABC does not start at a fixed position. Could I do this using DFSORT.
I do realize that we can replace a single character using ALTSEQ and strings can be replaced with another string using CHANGE command as long as the position is fixed.
I can do the above using REXX which is quite simple but I would love to know if it is possible to do using DFSORT.
The lines between the header and the trailer report contain Edited Numeric fields and description. |

| Sort products do not have built-in functions for find and replace. |

| It's on the list of candidates for future enhancements to DFSORT. |

Find and replace is now available with DFSORT's new FINDREP function in z/OS DFSORT V1R5 PTF UK90013 (July, 2008). For example:
| Code: |
//S1 EXEC PGM=ICEMAN
//SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//SORTIN DD DSN=... input file
//SORTOUT DD DSN=... output file
//SYSIN DD *
OPTION COPY
INREC FINDREP=(IN=C'ABC',OUT=C'XYZ')
/*
|
For complete details on the new FINDREP function and the other new functions available with PTF UK90013, see:

Does the following mean that we do not yet have the new "release"? How could I see what release we are using.

| Sorry, I worded that wrong. How can I tell what PTFs we have. |

It's NOT a new release. It's a PTF. It makes a difference because you can install the PTF on top of z/OS DFSORT V1R5 immediately on whichever release of z/OS you have. DFSORT currently only has one current release - z/OS DFSORT V1R5 (for z/OS 1.5 to 1.9). It will soon have two current releases, when z/OS DFSORT V1R10 is available.
The release you are using is shown in the ICE000I message.
See the following for a discussion of how to tell which PTF level you have:
ibmmainframes.com/viewtopic.php?t=33389
That message does indicate that you don't have the July, 2008 PTF installed. Ask your System Programmer to install it (it's free). |
