Can outfile be the same as infile?

Here are the RPGLE code that does the trick:
Yes, I can see why you'd want to do that instead of:
sed 's%[<]%\r\n<%g' < infile > outfile
I don't recommend it since it's such a head-scratcher if you're not in on
the trick. But one way is:
(rm infile; sed 's%[<]%\r\n<%g' > infile) < infile
It's so much better to do one of the following:
Automatic backup: QSH CMD('mv infile infile.bkp; sed "s%[<]%\r\n<%g" <
infile.bkp > infile')
No backup: QSH CMD('sed "s%[<]%\r\n<%g" < infile > outfile; mv
outfile infile')
Or install the gnu utilities, and then the -i switch will allow in-place
replacement.
