Please excuse the bad formatting. Trying Again.

Are you familiar with REXX? If so, here is how you could do this:

In a REXX:- LISTDS to get a list of the members in the PDS.- ALLOCATE an new 
PDS for the changed members.- FREE the output dsn.

- In a loop for each member:

-- ALLOCATE the input dsn(member_nn)-- EXECIO to read the member into input 
stem.
-- FREE the input dsn

-- in a loop move each reccord from input to output stem, but only first 72 
positions
--- end of inner loop

-- ALLOCATE the output dsn(member_nn)
-- EXECIO to write the changed data back into the member.
-- FREE the output dsn
-- end of outer loop


Not the most efficient way, but if this is a one-time job, it probably doesn't 
matter.
