HP RPG/iX Utilities Reference Manual (30318-90006)

2- 156
Examples
The following are legal abbreviations which may be used with the CHANGE command and its parameters:
CH;OLD;TO $NEW$ Change oldstring TO newstring from first line to current
IN F/* position of record pointer.
CHAN;OLD; TO; Change oldstring to newstring in lines 1 through 10.
NEW;IN1/10
In the examples of the CHANGE command, a mistake is made in the spelling of the command, and an
error message is returned (1).
Next, there is an attempt to replace a three character string, ";PUT;" with a four character string ";FILE;",
and another error message is generated (2).
When an additional space is added between the delimiters containing the oldstring ";PUT ;" so that both
strings are equal in length, the CHANGE is executed (3).
