1) Learn how to use the Code button when posting your samples

2) your sample has nothing to do with JCL. Not even a bit. That is just several text lines from an unknown source, and nothing else

3) the answer to your question is: Yes, there are several ways to do this in REXX

Sure, but.. when you say insert, but do you mean replace? You mention column 10, I assume that this is just for line 006300 ? Must the change command take into account that the current value is a date, or is there a fixed value?

You can experiment with this, which is just one method:
Code:
 /*    ISPF edit macro       rexx */         
 Address Isredit "MACRO PROCESS (p)"         
 Address Isredit                             
 newdate=date('s')                           
 "change p'========' '"newdate"' 1 17  last"

Do chceck the manual for details.
