I'm with Dennis. Use sed. This could hardly be easier than with sed.

Though, I personally think it's an idiotic thing to do to begin with. You should never be putting an XML file into a PF to begin with. What's stopping you from processing the XML straight from the IFS? (That is, after all, the normal way to process XML!)

Does anyone know of away (other than brute force) to replace one
Character with 3 Characters?

This is an XML file that I am getting via the httpapi via http_url_post
function [Thanks Scott!], in an RPG program. The program I'm trying to
replace is a Delphi program that took a block of data and did a replace
in each block of data with some Delphi function that would replace "<"
with 'CRLF' +"<" so that it could be later copied into a fix length
record format to process on the iSeries. (the xml is all one long
string, yuck!)

Only way I can think of is with two user spaces and using pointers, etc.
I'm so close to shoving one more Delphi program out the door and getting
this entirely a iSeries function. I just had to ask before I beat my
head on a wall coming up with something to do this.

Thanks,
