You're missing an assignment, and you're using the 'TRANSLATE' function incorrectly (It's TRANSLATE variable,new-value,old-value). You also neglected to PUSH the updated variable into the stack:
| Code: |
DO I = 1 TO LINE.0
SAY LINE.1
LINE.I = TRANSLATE(LINE.I,'OLD','NEW') <== change this
PUSH LINE.I <== add this
"EXECIO 1 DISKW DATAOUT"
SAY 'LINE.I'
END

Also, on an unrelated issue, last I knew of, DISP=MOD processing is not valid for a PDS member:
| Code: |
"ALLOC DA('XX.XX.REXX(W1GCS7EF)') F(DATAOUT) MOD"
|
If I recall, PDS members are allocated as either SHR or OLD only. |

Thanks Superk
But now the trouble is translate chnages the string unsing characters but i want to change the words only.
Do we have specific command or function using which we can change

Hi,
You can use an edit macro with a CHANGE command in it.
