Changing strings in members by a batch job

[mehdi_shri]

Hi freinds
I want to change an string in a series of JCL's. For example change
"DSN=IMS.PRJ01.OLP01" to "DUMMY"
Cause of many JCL's must be have "DUMMY" instead of "DSN=IMS.PRJ01.OLP01", it's difficult and time consuming to do this changes one by ony in JCL source. Is there a utility to do this by a batch job? And what is this form and syntax?

I'm not sure how to answer this since you posted your question to the TSO, CLIST, and REXX forum.

For quick batch updates of a PDS I usually try the IPOUPDTE utility first. If that won't work, you can try using IEBPTPCH to copy the PDS to a sequential dataset, make the changes to that dataset, then use IEBUPDTE to re-build the data into a PDS again.

In relation to this forum, a simple CLIST or REXX exec using a TSO EDIT would work nice. Or, if you like, you can always write an application using ISPF Services to edit each member and apply an ISPF Edit Macro for the changes.
