All, Been scratching my head all afternoon on this. I have a text file in mainframe unix filesystem that is ascii format. Bottom line is that in batch, I need to do a find/replace for certain data in it.
Interactively, I know I can do it via ISPF with the EA(edit ASCII) command. But I need to do it in batch, so unless someone has a clever way to do it, I'm thinking I need to copy it out to flat file, convert to EBCDIC, make the changes, and then copy it back to the unix filesystem from whence it came, converting it back to ascii and doing it in batch. Tried ICETOOL with OUTREC...BUILD...TRAN=ATOE, tried FTP, but don't seem to have the correct incantation to make that work, and I've tried OGETX, but no good results. Does anyone have some hints/tips to accomplish?
