What business reason might there be for this? If FileAid is installed and working, why use something else?
Also, as CG mentions, what you want to do needs clarification. Keep in mind that what you want to do is completely clear to you, but possibly not to everyone else. |

Hi,
| Code: |
// $$DD01 USER RDW=3,MOVE=(1,0,1),WRITE=DD01O
|
I doubt the above statement would work. // in a control statement?
Why not look up the manual to see what the statements do.
All the statement is doing is a straight copy.
You can simplify it as such
RDW=3 : Does not include the RDW during record processing and does not display it on output.
NOTE: When the RDW is not displayed on output (RDW=1 or 3), and no output records are created, the MOVE parameter output location should reference location 5 first.
eg.
| Code: |
| $$DD01 LIST RDW=3,IF=(1,EQ,A) |
lists all records of this variable-length dataset that contain the character A in the first byte of the data (not including the 4-byte system RDW).
Now if you still want to change from FILEAID to another utility, you can use SORT, IDCAMS,IEBGENER to mention a few.

Yes, you've said that. . .
But, Why not 
It may help someone else later to understand why a working process needs to change utilities. |
