gauthamnagpur18,

Assuming you want to replace the 4th character in the file, the following DFSORT JCL will give you the desired results.

Select all

//STEP0100 EXEC PGM=SORT
//SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//SORTIN DD *
----+----1----+----2----+----3
1 RAM
2 GANESH
3 RAJESH
//SORTOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSIN DD *
SORT FIELDS=COPY
INREC OVERLAY=(4:X)
//*

The output from this is

Select all

1 R M
2 G NESH
3 R JESH
