Hello Folks,

I usually change files using FileManager through ISPF interface. Now I need to do this in a JCL. Via ISPF interface, I enter in FM option, 2 (Edit), open the file (VSAM) and execute command "change 'string1' 'string2' all". The strings have the same length. Do you know how to do this in a JCL? This is my job what I am trying to execute

Select all

//JOBSIT1 JOB (999),'PROGRAMMER',
// CLASS=A,
// MSGCLASS=X,
// NOTIFY=&SYSUID,
// COND=(0,NE)
//STEP1 EXEC PGM=FILEMGR
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSIN DD *
$$FILEM DSP DSNIN='PPG.TEST.LEKS.VS.CONTR',
$$FILEM CHANGE 'XXX' 'YYY' ALL
/*
//

But I am getting this error:

Select all

1...5...10...15...20...25...30...35...40...45...50...55...60...65...70...75...80
0FMNBA091 Missing or invalid control card
0FMNBA099 Invalid continuation, syntax error near card column 9

Regards!

Hello Nico,

See if this helps; in FM, under the utilities (Option 3 in FM primary menu) option, there is a seperate option named- Find/Change (option 6 under 'Utilities').
This is how it appears:

Select all

File Manager Find/Change Utility
Command ===> Scroll CSR

Input Partitioned, Sequential or VSAM Data Set, or HFS file:
Data set/path name 'XXXX.YYYY.ZZZZ' +
Member . . . . . (Blank - selection, pattern - process list)
Volume serial . (If not cataloged)
Record count . . Number of records to be searched
- Additional options
Listing data set . SRCHFOR.LIST

Enter "/" to select option Listing Option ISPF Packing
/ JCL Source format Immediate change 1 1. Long 1 1. Asis
Use REXX proc / Batch execution 2. Summary 2. Pack
REXX no update Directory integrity Stats Option 3. Unpack
/ Advanced member selection 1. Off 4. None
Binary mode, reclen CAPS initially on 2. Force 5. Skip

Select the batch execution tab, and punch in the usual CHANGE command in the command line followed by your strings.
Once you press ENTER, that should auto-build a tailored JCL for you; please note, for the JCL to be built, you need to select the 'Batch Execution' tab.

Hope this is what you are looking for.
