Sample:
| Code: |
OPTION COPY
INREC IFTHEN=(WHEN=INIT,
PARSE=(%01=(STARTAFT=C'"',ENDBEFR=C'"',FIXLEN=60)),
BUILD=(C'TEST ',%01))
END |
Adjust length to your requirement, and look up PARSE in the manual. |

| You can also omit the IFTHEN and start straight with PARSE in this case. As RECFM was not mentioned, a fixed format is assumed. |

Highly likely, in the real world parameter SQZ needs to be added, too.
| Code: |
OPTION COPY
INREC PARSE=(%01=(STARTAFT=C'"',ENDBEFR=C'"',FIXLEN=60)),
BUILD=(C'TEST ',%01,SQZ=(SHIFT=LEFT,MID=C' '))
END |
One more option:
| Code: |
OPTION COPY
INREC FINDREP=(INOUT=(C'"',C' '))
END |
