AW: sql update of srcdta in cl source

You simply need an OVRDBF first.
And then execute your update statement on the overridden member.

Betreff: sql update of srcdta in cl source

Hi,

I want to modify this in a clp source :

MY_LABEL: CALL PGM(MGR123401)

So it becomes

MY_LABEL: CALL PGM(MGR589801)


I'm trying to use the REPLACE function in sql. I've added the label for the
WHERE clause. The program name is a standard, ie, prefix MGR 4 numbers and
suffix(in this case 01) I know the new number, 5898, but I cannot be sure of
the old number to replace. I could presume the program name occupies the
same position in the field SRCDTA but that won't always work.

Something like UPDATE Myfile SET SRCDTA = REPLACE ( SRCDTA, '1234',
MyNewNumber) WHERE SRCDTA LIKE 'MY_LABEL:%'


Ideas?
