Use INREC IFTHEN=(WHEN=INIT to BUILD the 15 bytes, followed by another IFTHEN=(WHEN=INIT for the FINDREP (as you only want those 15, don't bother with the "pos" bits I mentioned before).

SUM FIELDS=NONE

Use IFTHEN to identify those you want to change. Use FINDREP on the IFTHEN. Use STARTPOS/ENDPOS on the FINDREP.

Have a look at FINDREP in your documentation.

Also, if you need further assistance, post some sample input and expected output, please.

For the FILE you should be able to code VB ( 1039 0 ) and Easytrieve will handle (in co-operation with SMS, or the JCL) obtaining the blocksize at run-time. I see you now changed the records o...

Look, this is not FILEAID. It is Easytrieve Plus. Did you look at my previous reply?

Look at the meaning of X'A0' for VSAM.

Did you look at PUT xx FROM?

Or MOVE filename?

Or RECORD-LENGTH ?

I wouldn't really call it copy/paste, but look at OVERLAY in the manual, or better explain what it is that you want.
