Hi All,

I have tried to change a string of length 3 with another string of length 4 but the output is not coming as expected. I have tried with findrep parameter of sort utility but it didn't give the desired result.

Example:

Input:

DEVTEST
DEVUAT
DEVPROD


Expected output:

DEV1EST
DEV1AT
DEV1ROD

Note: postition of start of DEV string in input file is not known.

Please assist. Thanks!

JCL has no operations for such manipulation.

Please, choose the forum section for different tools: COBOL? Assembler? PL/I? REXX? SORT? Whatever else?

The important issue: you must present here the exact code of your attempts, plus all input/output/log data of its execution. Otherwise there is no base for any discussion.
