Getting lots of suggestions/ideas. Gonna take me a bit to sort them out. My situation is that I need to take current production JCLlib(s) and modify the ACCT info in each .... not the same change to all jobcards.
So ... turn the current JCLLIB PDS into a flat file ... run a (yet to be written) process that compares the flatfile line-by-line to another file with all the corrected first-lines containing the new ACCT info and replaces the current JOB card with the new one. (Our jobcards have each parameter ... acct info .... class .... user .... etc on a separate line with the ACCT info as the only parm on the actual JOB line).' After replacing all the old jobcards (first line only) with the appropriate new jobcard .... put the corrected flatfile back into a PDS format.
