Hi,

Please clarify the following doubt.

I've a file which is having three fields and they contain data as follows:

Name Number salary

John 1000 20000
John 1000 20000
John 1000 20000

Now, i want the output as follows:

Name Number salary

Johnk 1000 20000
Johnk 1000 20000
Johnk 1000 20000

Here i want to replace 'John' with 'Johnk'. Initially, the name field is of
x(5).

Please let me know that can we do this with JCL? Please send me the JCL
for the above requirement.

Thanks,
Kiran.

No you cannot - JCL does not manipulate data - it lets the mainframe know what resources your program needs. It is your program that manipulates the data. You probably want ICETOOL (if you use DFSORT) or the SYNCSORT equivalent.

Kiran,

You have to provide the LRECL.
Anyway assuming the length as 80, the below code will solve your problem.

You can use a DFSORT job like the following to do what you asked for:
