You could open the file for update in the REXX and then just replace the record in situ. Or write to a new file as output.

Or use an ISPF edit macro. Personally I would choose the one file in one file out method. That way you retain the integrity of the original data.

I don't get it.

You're reading the entire DD into a stem variable (recdd.). All you need to do is to loop through the stem variables until you meet your criteria for the change. Change the value of that particular stem variable (recdd.i). Leave the loop. Then, just write the DD from the stem variable:
