Re: Find and Replace in a IFS File

[Don <dr2@xxxxxxxx>]

not directly, but the file was in the ifs it was EBCDIC, so a simply copy 
to library space, SEU then copy back...should do the trick easily, 
depending on the file size and record length....  Basically have had to do 
this with spool files several times when the looney beancounting clerk fat 
fingered check dates, etc.,...much easier to tweek the spool file and 
change the dates in the transactions file than to redo a huge check 
run...especially when you're dealing with a client that thinks their 
computer is nothing more than a big adding machine to make sure the g/l 
balances... :) :)
