Hi,
I have a PDS containing many JCL members along with other type of members (sort cards etc). I have a requirement to replace a single line of all the JCL members with 5 lines: Example is as given below
// SET SMTX=XR is the line that needs to be repalced by
// SET SMTA = '01'
// SET SMTB = '02'
// SET SMTC = '03'
// SET SMTD = '04'
// SET SMTE = '05'
I have tried doing this using 'FIND/CHANGE' utility (online) in FM but I get an error quoting 'Too many parameters' - Even the batch version is not allowing this.
Can somebody help me in meeting this requirement ? Thanks for your help!!! |

You will have to write an edit macro to do it..
there are quite a few samples around in the forums |

If you could use:
| Code: |
| // SET SMTA=01,SMTB=02,SMTC=03,SMTD=04,SMTE=05 |
That would make it easier, no?
Oh, wait... You can!!! |

Thank you for the suggestion, I will search the forums more for the sampels
Marso,
The one I had given was just an example (as quoted) - the actual content is different. But the final thing to achieve is to replace one line by five lines!! However thank you for the suggestion, I would remember this while replacing any SET statements in future!!! |

Hello,

What a waste of people's time. . . 
There is no good reason to post something other than what is needed. If the "real" values should be protected - fine - subsittute something similar. |

In that case, I will rephrase:
You still can use FIND/CHANGE without the need to add new lines if you use, FOR EXAMPLE
| Code: |
| C 'SMTX=XR' 'SMTA=01,SMTB=02,SMTC=03,SMTD=04,SMTE=05' |
If that string is too long to fit in the command line, you can use any trick you want like, FOR EXAMPLE
| Code: |
C 'SMTX=XR' 'SMTA=01,SMTB=02,SMTC=03,@@X'
C '@@X' 'SMTD=04,SMTE=05' |
Of course, you can add parameters to the CHANGE command, FOR EXAMPLE:
| Code: |
| ALL FIRST NEXT PREV WORD |
and so on. |

Does your shop have Jobscan installed? It's what runs if you enter "JEM" to check your JCL.
It has a really nice batch JCL editor built in that can do EXACTLY what you're looking for. |

The same is true of JCLPREP. Beware, however; the control language for JPEDMCR (the JCLPREP batch editor) is a programming language in itself, and not to be mastered by asking a few questions in a forum such as this. I haven't been at a shop that used JOBSCAN in nearly a decade, and do not recall if the same is true of it or not. |
