Barbara,
Good point! I actually wrote this utility about 8-years ago, when I first started using WDSC.
When I use file inside in sub-procedure, I have to use a Data-Structure on the Read/Update.
I forgot about that! I *ALWAYS* appreciate tips!!! So much easier to READ the code too!
Thanks!
PS. I had to run some utility reports for my boss to manually write "CSV" files to import into XLS. So, I fell back to what I knew/remembered. And I use the Old-fashion "I" & "O" specs! I like your solution SO MUCH BETTER! Thanks AGAIN! :)

Pretty much off the main topic but I can't help it ...
For a program-described file, you can use a data structure instead of defining I and O specs. It's nicer when the rest of the program is free-form, and I think it's easier and less error-prone than I and O specs.
dcl-ds srcline;
srcseq zoned(6 : 2);
srcdat zoned(6);
srcdta char(128);
end-ds;
...
open qrpglesrc;
read qrpglesrc srcline;
dow not %eof;
SRCDTA = %XLATE(hex:blk:SRCDTA);
update qrpglesrc srcline;
read qrpglesrc srcline;
enddo;
