Dick,
That alternate method (TRAN=ALTSEQ) only works for replacing one character with another. It can't be used to replace a word with another word. That requires FINDREP. |

From the example you show, it appears you actually want 'gaurav' to be replaced by 'deepxx'. You could use these DFSORT control statements to do that:
| Code: |
OPTION COPY
INREC FINDREP=(IN=C'gaurav',OUT=C'deepxx')
