Can you live with equal length replacements?
it has to be easier than writing a Rexx
PDS or STARTOOL Usage
The PDS package (free from CBT file 182) and Serena's STARTOOL product were
mentioned earlier. Here's a note about their syntax.
The TSO command PDS pdsname REPL : !stringA!stringB! WRITE is all you
need. As a TSO command it is easy to put in a batch job. [Use
You may also use FileAid if you have that installed instead of FileManager.

I think the requirement for a member name $$$COIBM has been removed. I have
used IPOUPDTE on 3 different sites in the past few years without this
restriction. Many of the other utilities are great, but some cost money or may
not be installed at some sites, so IPPOUPDTE is a great option. It
When I tried IPOUPDTE on my PDS I got an error IPO006 FILE @PDS INVALID
FOR IPOUPDTE that I resolved by adding a member $$$COIBM, so I conclude that
the restriction is still there, at least on the copy on my V2R1 system.
It's a GREAT little utility except for the stupid kneecapping.
FWIW,
There used to be a zap for IPOUPDTE to get rid of the $$$COIBM requirement.
Google IPOUPDTE ZAP. Don't know if they still work. But it is likely worth
the quick search and test if you need the functionality.

Yeah, thanks, down at the bottom of

I've got it solved. Thanks,

This thread brings back a memory from back in the day when they actually
paid me to be a SYSPROG. IPOUPDTE was all we had so we added a step to load
the sacred member, do the changes, delete the member in a following step.
Annoying, like my new Keurig coffee machine.

I am going to suggest something very silly here
Why not write an edit macro to make the change(s) to one member
And then write a rexx to execute this macro against every member??
ISREDIT MACRO
ISREDIT (STATUS) = USER_STATE
ISREDIT RESET SPECIAL
Yup. Pretty much done. I actually had some Rexx around to do some of the
changes itself so I am not using edit any more.
Requirement was for batch.

Annoying indeed. I played with insert $$$COIBM and then delete it again, and
I played with leaving a $$$COIBM in there but with our copyright message
rather than IBM's. I don't think the name $$$COIBM has any particular legal
standing.

That shouldn't be an obstacle; I believe ISPF EDIT works in batch.

See if you have IPOUPDTE in your system. Linklib maybe.
Or if you have the TAPETOOLS from IBM - it has an equivalent.

Is IPOUPDTE still around? I'm at home right now can't easily look.

Server Pac
CPPUPDTE is a program that enables you to search for a string
across all the members of a PDS and replace that string with
another string. CPPUPDTE is loaded into the LOADLIB data set
(hlq.order_number.LOADLIB) during ServerPac installation. It
also has an alias name of IPOUPDTE
If you have File Manager at your shop you can find and replace quite
easily like shown below.
//STEP0100 EXEC PGM=FILEMGR
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//MYPDSDD DISP=SHR,DSN=Your PDS to be updated/replaced
//SYSINDD *
$$FILEM FCH INPUT=MYPDS
C '$REPLACEME$' 'Updated string'
Thanks,
I typically use the PDSPDS program from CBT file 40. Uncertain who to credit
that too.
Ant.

Hmmm. Also Important: For CPPUPDTE and IPOUPDTE to work, each PDS to be
searched
MUST contain a member named $$$COIBM.
Obviously that is something I could create but that creates problems of its own.
May keep looking a little. Not sure if I have File Manager.

If you have SimpList take a look at the CHGALL command. Enter it on a member
list command line and a pop-up panel prompts you for required and optional
parameters. If there are any members you don't want changed you can filter the
member list many different ways before entering the CHGALL
