What problem do you have using ISREDIT in batch? How is the semicolon handled in ISREDIT?

Whew! ;-) I am familiar with using ISREDIT MACRO function interactively, so I first tried out Alan Young's example in thread 'Re: JCL sample needed' posted on 19 Feb 2016. But I have problems to pass the two arguments for the ISREDIT CHANGE command. It is easy (after lots of RTFM on KC! ;-D ) to do that interactively, but not in batch. Eventually I discovered Sri h Kolusu's better example in the same thread too! After some tailoring I get this: //STEP0100 EXEC PGM=SORT //SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=* //SORTIN DD DISP=SHR,DSN=...???... //SORTOUT DD DISP=SHR,DSN=...???... //SYSIN DD * OPTION COPY OUTREC FINDREP=(INOUT=(C'Pest',C'Breaker')) //* With this, I can change in whole dataset all occurances of 'Pest' to 'Breaker'. I (and they who asked me for assistance) don't care for now about the length difference after change operation. Thanks to all who helped offline and online. And to Sri, you are still amazing with all those magical solutions. Thanks again!
