 Posted: Fri Feb 14, 2003 12:31 pm Post subject: Replacing copybook |
 |
|
I have a copybook of which I would like to replace every occurance of a certain string.
| Code: |
01 TRC-PD-LS-REC.
02 TRC-PD-LS-CYC-REC.
05 TRC-PD-LS-CYC-KEY
05 TRC-PD-LS-CYC-NAME
05 TRC-PD-LS-CYC-FILLER-1
05 TRC-PD-LS-CYC-DT.
10 TRC-PD-LS-CYC-YYYY
10 TRC-PD-LS-CYC-MM
10 TRC-PD-LS-CYC-CC
05 TRC-PD-LS-CYC-FILLER-2
|
I would like to replace TRC with WS01. It would look like:
| Code: |
01 WS01-PD-LS-REC.
02 WS01-PD-LS-CYC-REC.
05 WS01-PD-LS-CYC-KEY
05 WS01-PD-LS-CYC-NAME
05 WS01-PD-LS-CYC-FILLER-1
05 WS01-PD-LS-CYC-DT.
10 WS01-PD-LS-CYC-YYYY
10 WS01-PD-LS-CYC-MM
10 WS01-PD-LS-CYC-CC
05 WS01-PD-LS-CYC-FILLER-2
|
As of now, I know how to use
| Code: |
COPY G7476XXX REPLACING TRC-PD-LS-REC BY WS01-PD-LS-REC.
|
But this forces me to referece WS01-PD-LS-REC everytime i use a variable
| Code: |
TRC-PD-LS-REC of WS01-PD-LS-REC
|
To make easier, i want to replace every occurance of TRC with WS01. From what I've read, it seems i need to use the following code:
| Code: |
COPY G7476XXX REPLACING ==:TRC:== BY ==WS01==.
|
But so far that only works if i actually have the colons hard coded in the copybook.
| Code: |
01 :TRC:-PD-LS-REC.
02 :TRC:-PD-LS-CYC-REC.
05 :TRC:-PD-LS-CYC-KEY
05 :TRC:-PD-LS-CYC-NAME
05 :TRC:-PD-LS-CYC-FILLER-1
05 :TRC:-PD-LS-CYC-DT.
10 :TRC:-PD-LS-CYC-YYYY
10 :TRC:-PD-LS-CYC-MM
10 :TRC:-PD-LS-CYC-CC
05 :TRC:-PD-LS-CYC-FILLER-2
|
I think I am missing something here, because it would seem this approach would only work if the user coded in the colons ahead of time.
Any insight would be appreciated. Thank you.

Disco_stu,
Try this syntax
| Code: |
COPY G7476XXX REPLACING ==:TRC:== BY ==WS01==.
|
Hope this helps...

| Thats what i tried (see above). But in my testing, that only seems to work if add colons to the copybook. I can't modify the copybook. |

Sorry, Stu, you can't do what you want to do. Replacing strings (not words), as you learned, requires the delimiters be coded in the copybook. Why TPTB decided to implement it that way is anybody's guess. It seems easy enough to accomplish the same result without the delimiters by limiting the replacement of strings to the beginning a dataname.
Such is life, I guess.
You could replace the 01 level with "WS" to reduce the strokes. E.g.,
TRC-PD-LS-CYC-DT OF WS, but it's kind of Kludgey and if you also need the copybook in its original form you don't save many strokes because you then have those "OF TRC-PD-LS-RECs" to deal with.
Oh, well, I guess you'll just have to pay the $2. 
Regards, Jack. |
