Hi Team,

I need small help I need some sample JCL where I can provide input as
1) PDS name which will have lot of members
2) Old string which needs to replace
3) New String

And as output I want same PDS with new string in all memebrs.

I wrote some REXX codes and it is working fine but my requirement is using JCL want to do same work. Also I wrote some JCL where I can replace string in PDD memebrs or flat files, but I am not sure how to replace string for whole PDS (including all memebrs).

Thanks a lot for your help in advance.

regards,
Kiran Bhamare

The PDS86 program from Use [URL] BBCode for External Links can do anything to a PDS and almost anything to a PDSE. Just be careful.

Enrico said already.

If you have then try this , else rexx should do.

You cannot do this sort of thing in JCL as that is not what JCL does. You can do it using a program provided that you supply the correct control cards to the program. You can then wrap it all up in JCL to run as a batch job.

If you plan to use any of the tools mentioned, don't forget to copy the members to another PDS, don't replace them until the result has been checked.
If you write a marco, clone the original PDS and work on the copy until you're satisfied with the results.
