Using the CLIST program, I want to open the PDS member in Edit mode and then I want to give search for a particular string in that member and upon finding the particular occurance I want to replace those occurences with some other. Like we do in JCL : " Change abc xxx all".

Please let me know how can we do in CLIST.

Thanks in advance.

dubasir,

Any particular reason for using CLIST? A simple rexx edit macro will do what you want.

I'm wondering if the O/P might be considering using the TSO EDIT command via a CLIST, something like this:

That and the ALLMBRS example in the doc should get you started.

Thanks to everyone for your valuable suggestions. Finally I got the required thing. The mistake I had done was, I included a "FREE ALL" Statement in the CLIST program, there by it's not picking up the proc.

Anyway thanks again, for everyone.
