Hello all,

can someone help me to resolve a query.

I got a dataset, and i wanna replace the 1st column Value from X to Y.
For ex. Current Value in dataset is X9010
Output i need is Y9010
How can I do this using the JCL sort statement pls.
I think Overlay can be used but am not getting how to use overlay with Sort.

Look for FINDREP, a sample is given below:

Code: Select all

//SYSIN DD *                           
 OPTION COPY                           
 OUTREC FINDREP=(IN=C'X',OUT=C'Y')

Play around with position of characters you want to replace, should work.
