JCL SORT, replace a field with static value

Postby rvijayreddy » Sun Mar 21, 2010 9:08 pm

Hi,

I have a FB file with 2500 lrecl.
It has '100' & '500' values in column 3

I need to replace 683 column with static date '2010-12-12' if column 3 has a value '100'.

I know I can use IF THEN OVERLAY, but the problem is our mainframe version does not support these commands.

Can anyone please help !!!

Thanks,
Vijay.

Hello and welcome to the forum,

Suggest your system support people be encouraged to install the current level of the software - this is free. . .
Hope this helps,

Hello,

Well, it could take a while. But, the feature has been available for a long while :)

Which release of the sort is currently being used? If your system is as out of date as some i've worked on, even workarounds may not be available. . . :(
Hope this helps,
