CHANGE

CHANGE changes an "oldstring" to a "newstring".

Form

CH[ANGE] "oldstring" TO "newstring" [IN lb [/le]]

Parameter Explanation

"oldstring" The old string you are replacing.

"newstring" The new string that is replacing the old.

IN Indicates that a range of lines to be changed follows.

lb First, or only, line number where change will be made.

le Line where the change ends.

Purpose

The CHANGE command replaces "oldstring" with "newstring". If no line range is speciﬁed, the changes

will be made from the current position of the record pointer to the end of ﬁle.

Special Considerations

The number of characters in "oldstring" must be the s ame as that of "newstring". If there is any

difference, the column position of characters would be changed, possibly making the RPG source line

syntactically incorrect.

Delimiters

You may use any special characters as delimiters except the slash (/).

Execution mode: Line or Block.

Record pointer: At last line changed.
