Indeed, Rexx is an option but not the fastest tool in the box. And I don't know about sed but z/OS awk (perhaps not intentionally) does indeed support "classic" datasets via DD.

COBOL might be OK. sed and awk don't support Classic data sets (but the OP didn't state that as a requirement.) -- This message and any attachments are intended only for the use of the addressee and may contain information that is privileged and confidential.
