Replace command like srchfor

Postby zhinghur » Tue Jan 17, 2012 1:06 am

Hello,

Do we have any commands to replace any text(say ab to xy) from different members in one PDS, without going and doing manual edit with c all command for each member?


Thanks,
Zhingur

no...
You will have to write an edit macro

see here for an edit macro which applies an <inner> macro to all the members of the PDS being edited

You will have to write Your own <inner> macro to issue the change commands

Can't this be done with a global edit?

Globally change - what ? JCL, COBOL Source? ASM SOURCE ? PANEL- SKELS - MSGS?
there are products (FILEAID,PDSMAN) for example that can change text (ab to xy) in all or some PDS members, but you need to take care, for example; if the source is JCL, the utility is non forgiving, it will change (ab to xyz) with no problems, and not care if the changed text now created an invalid jcl statement, or invalid source statement, I agree with Enrico, learning to write an edit macro and ensuring your changed data is correct is the best route.
ISPF LM - services along with an edit macro can do whatever you need to do to a PDS
