Initialization of particular fields

Hi all,

could u plz tell me the option for initialization of few fields of either a vsam or sequential data set using file-aid.

For example, let us assume, I have added 2 fields in a file. I want to initialize those two filelds in all records of that file. Now , what my doubt is "how can i do that particular fields initialization by using file-aid ?? is ther any provision for that by all possible ways ??"

Thanks in advance,
Babu.
