Elardus Engelbrecht,
You skipped over the most important Utility DFSORT. It can find and REPLACE
one or more strings. Here is an example.
//STEP0100 EXEC PGM=SORT
//SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//SORTIN DD DISP=SHR,DSN=Your Input VB file with LRECL>2048
//SORTOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSIN DD *
OPTION COPY
INREC FINDREP=(ENDPOS=2004,
INOUT=(C'ONE',C'TWO',
C'FOUR',C'FIVE'))
//*
Note : For FB fies the end position would be 2000 ( No addition of the
RDW)
Further if you have any questions please let me know
Thanks,
