Mainframe, MVS and zOS Discussion

Hi,

In a COBOL

Variable1 PIC X(36) value '0123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz'.

I want to firstly search the character, for example 'c', later want to update the character 'c' to '$'. In the output i need to display, the character position, chrrent value and the replaced value - how should I proceed for this.

Thank you

Use INSPECT. It allows TALLYING as well as REPLACING.

Just trying to understand :

Do you want to replace all 'c' in the given string?

Yes, I wanted to replace all the 'c's.

Use a loop with PERFORM.

Thanks William.
