Re: DSPF FILE CHANGE

If in fact he has:

REFFLD([format/field library/file}

Then couldn't he do an F14 replace, for "format/field library/file)" with "field)" and eliminate his spacing problem?

My other post needs to be modified, since you have the names split between lines, and this will be a little harder.

OK, the REFFLDs all have the same record format - you can remove that completely. (BOIANCENSR/ is the value I speak of.)
They also all have the same file - you can remove that completely, as well, if you have a REF keyword at file level that names that file.
MANBOI/BOIAN- followed by CENSI
MANBOI/BOI- followed by ANCENSI

This is a situation where macros can be very helpful.

Open a DSPF source member for editing, press F14, put REFFLD( in "Find", then start to record a macro. Then press F16.

These are the steps that will be in the macro -

- F4
- 2 Newlines (to get to the Keywords field)
- 11 deletes (to remove the record format and forward slash)
Now pause recording and move the cursor to the blank right after the field name, then resume recording.
- Field Exit to remove the rest
- Enter
- Field Exit to clear
- F16 to find the next REFFLD(

Keep going

Hi All,

Attached is my file. If you see, all the lines where we have MANBOI needs to
be replaced with GEPRGSDATA.

If we look at the last field, ZIPCODE, the last of the line is MANBOI/BO-.
When i want to replace this, it should be GEPRGSDATA/BO-

However, due to system requirement of maximum 80 columns, it can only be
GEPRGSDAT- and the next line should start with A/BO.

I am unable to replace MANBOI and let it continue from the next line. Thus,
i have to do it manually for all lines.

It is possible that i use a preprocessor like DEFINE or a way where if the
replace has longer characters, it automatically overflows the rest of the
test to the next line ?

Manish

Is this the question?...

You have a screen that says something like this:

NAME: ___________ MANBOI: _______________ QUANTITY: ___________

And you want it to be:


NAME: ___________ GEPRGSDTA: _______________ QUANTITY: ___________

If so, I don't think the answers you got so far are going to be helpful. So
first, please clear up for us what is the question. Include a real
example.

Hi Manish

Not sure I understand exactly what you mean could you post an example of
the code you're trying to replace/change? Is it something in the DDS
you're trying to change, or in the RPG program? If it's in the RPG
program would using /COPY or /INCLUDE copy members help? You would be
able to code the statements once and include them in each source program
automatically at compile time.

All the best
