Hi,

I am trying to replace the string AMP=(AMORG,'BUFND=10','BUFNI=3')
by AMP=('ACCBIAS=SYSTEM'). I checked all the previous postings, but, fileaid and syncsort doesn't accept ' as a valid character to be replaced. Help much appreciated!!!

info_seeker,

use double quotes(") to treat single quote as a part of change key. Also use editall function as the target string to be replaced is shorter than the original string.

Code:

//STEP0100 EXEC PGM=FILEAID,REGION=0M                         
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*                                         
//DD01     DD *                                               
AMP=(AMORG,'BUFND=10','BUFNI=3')                               
FIELD1:XXXXXKOLUSU                                             
FIELD2:XXXXXFRANK                                             
//DD01O    DD SYSOUT=*                                         
//SYSIN    DD *                                               
$$DD01 COPY EDITALL=(01,00,C"AMP=(AMORG,'BUFND=10','BUFNI=3')",
                     C"AMP=('ACCBIAS=SYSTEM')")               
/*                                                             


will produce this
Code:

AMP=('ACCBIAS=SYSTEM')
FIELD1:XXXXXKOLUSU     
FIELD2:XXXXXFRANK     


Hope this helps...

Cheers

Kolusu

Hello info_seeker,

Rexx Macros are used to do so

Code in a rexx Script like:

Code:

/* Main Rexx */
dsname = 'My.Dataset'
ADDRESS ISPEXEC ,                                             
  "EDIT DATASET('"dsname")') MACRO(Replace)"
if rc > 4 Then Say 'Error in dataset edit'


And your replace macro should look like:
Code:

ADDRESS ISREDIT
'MACRO'

'C "AMP=(AMORG,''BUFND=10'',''BUFNI=3'')" ,
"AMP=(''ACCBIAS=SYSTEM'')" ALL'         

'BUILTIN SAVE'
'BUILTIN CANCEL'
RETURN         


Just be sure to use a double quote where appropiated
