Hi, all, can you tell me if I can use FINDREP like this:

FINDREP=(IN=([NOT INCLUDED LIST]),OUT=(C'*'))

Which means I want the characters not included in the 'in' list to be masked by '*', the input field is a character string contains 32 bytes.

e.g.
input:
01A-3458 9
the not included list is: num and space(0~9 and C' ')
output:
01**3458 9

thanks a lot! icon_smile.gif

No, you can't.

Rather than using FINDREP for the characters you want to change, it might be easier to set up an ALTSEQ table with those characters and use TRAN=ALTSEQ.
