I have a dynamically created input file which has transmission job details, I need to replace the node with my node and also the folder path with my path, I am able to achieve the replacement of node with IFTHEN/OVERLAY option but while doing same for folder path but it is going beyond 70 as the folder path is long , I tried splitting the line or replacing the path its not working. file is LRECL 70 FB.
Starting position is 3. Please help.

My input file has below records

Welcome !!
Please make a use of Code tags. You can post what you tried instead of saying it. Second, confirm if this is what you want -
Find &DSN2= and push the current value to next line and add the one that you have hardcoded? It doesn't match in your example above as /fffffff/ is added after /eeeeeeeee/ in expected results.

You can think of using INREC IFTHEN=(WHEN=Condition, PUSH whatever is after &DSN2=)
in OUTREC you can BUILD using '/' operator to get the push'd value on to second line eliminating blank records.

Or
I believe, You can achieve using JOINKEYS too:)

That’s right OUTFIL, it’s one of those auto spells🙂. Thanks Joerg.

Thanks for your replies, I was able to achieve the split of line with below and get it into output file-

INPUT - &DSN2='testflder/TEST_D20201101_S01431_C_P1_D' -

OUTPUT -
&DSN2='testflder/
TEST_D20201101_S01431_C_P1_D' -

SORT FIELDS=COPY
OUTFIL IFTHEN=(WHEN(10,10,CH,EQ,C'gcdudaily/'),
BUILD=(1,19,70:X,/,20,47))

Now I want to reformat below input

INPUT -

&DSN2='testflder/
TEST_D20201101_S01431_C_P1_D' -

Expected output -

&DSN2=\'/data/test/cd/DEV/testfolder/upload/\ || -
\TEST_D20201101_S01431_C_P1_D'\ -

I used below sort card but its not working, also I am not sure how to apen slash at the start and end of TEST_D20201101_S01431_C_P1_D
Please give some idea

//CTL1CNTL DD *
OPTION COPY
INREC IFOUTLEN=70,
IFTHEN=(WHEN(10,9,CH,EQ,C'testfolder'),
OVERLAY=(10:C'\'/data/test/cd/DEV/testfolder/upload/\ || -'))
/*

Thanks in advance for helping out

Use code tags when presenting code and data!

The same story, again, and again: any advice given to new-coming “experts” is 100% ignored. They are waiting ONLY for a ready to copy-and-paste solution presented to them after all. Next step: “Thank you, Mr. Expert, it worked fine!” And after a short period of time the next question is posted here, to help with his new job assignment, and rather to do his job for him, free of charge...
