Find and Replace (FINDREP)

It does the same thing as its name suggests. It find the given piece of string and replaces it with another string given by you.

As a simple example, you could use the following INREC statement to replace all instances of 'Goodbye' in your input records with 'Bye', shift the bytes after the replaced constants to the left, and pad on the right with blanks.

INREC FINDREP=(IN=C'Goodbye',OUT=C'Bye')

If you had 60 byte input records like this:
*"Goodbye John"*"Goodbye William"*"Goodbye Goodboy"*
"Goodbye Michael""Good Dog""Goodbye Goodbye"

You would get 60-byte output records like this:
*"Bye John"*"Bye William"*"Bye Goodboy"*
"Bye Michael""Good Dog""Bye Bye"
