File Operations in REXX (contd.)....

[leo6]

My intention was to write

1. 2 space characters from column 3 for all records in the file.(ie, write space at column 3 and 4 in the file.)

2. 4 space characters from column 8 for all records in the file.(ie, write space at column 8,9,10,11 in the file.)

could you please help,me??

Thank you for your response.

Also,now I get the following error when I tried to execute the code,

-----------------------------------------------------
READY
CHREXX4 TP.ECRM.GDGDATE1
1
dsname passed from jcl is:
TP.ECRM.GDGDATE1
Record cannot be updated. No record from file IO has been read for update.
EXECIO error while trying to GET or PUT a record.
FILE IO NOT FREED, DATA SET IS OPEN
5 lines were replaced with spaces
READY
END ------------------------------------------------------
I would be the happiest man, if this gets done....
THANK YOU...

Looks like something already has the dataset open to me.
