Hi All,

Here's the problem at hand:

every member of the PDS has the below character string :

The emp dept of the employee is : *BQXXXXX

Here * can any of the alphabets. ( A -Z ) . I need to replace this with

The emp dept of the employee is : TBQXXXXX

in all the 3k members.

Can this be done using SORT ?

Thanks,
Martin

Martin,

SORT products canNOT handle multiple PDS members at a time. A simple rexx edit macro is will get you the desired results

Possibly, File-Aid can also be a choice but i'm not very sure about this:

does the text in quotes means, all the strings of nature "*BQXXXXX " must be changed to "TBQXXXXX " ?
