Sort conversion

[Karthik12]

I have an ? mark input, i want to replace that one to @
for example
input
?
output
@

I don't know what an " have an ? mark input" is, but if you want to replace a ? with an @ anywhere in your records, you can use a DFSORT job like the following. I assumed your input file has RECFM=FB and LRECL=80, but you can change the job appropriately for other attributes.

Code: Select all

//S1    EXEC  PGM=ICEMAN
//SYSOUT    DD  SYSOUT=*
//SORTIN DD DSN=... input file (FB/80)
//SORTOUT DD DSN=..  output file (FB/80)
//SYSIN    DD    *
  OPTION COPY
  ALTSEQ CODE=(6F7C)
  INREC BUILD=(1,80,TRAN=ALTSEQ)
/*

If that's not what you want to do, then please explain more clearly what it is you want to do.

You can now do this a bit more easily with DFSORT's new find and replace capability available with z/OS DFSORT V1R5 PTF UK90013. For example:

Code: Select all

    OPTION COPY
    INREC FINDREP=(IN=C'?',OUT=C'@')

For complete details on the new FINDREP function and the other new functions available with PTF UK90013, see:
