IBM System/360 User Manual

You can insert a sequence of characters at the beginning of the line.
For example. if line 15 of your data set is as follows:
00015 EMPLOYEE ABSENTEEISM
enter:
change 15 //weekly report of /
to obtain:
00015 WEEKLY REPORT OF EMPLOYEE ABSENTEEISM
You can also delete a sequence of characters using the CHANGE
subcommand.. For example. to delete WEEKLY from line 15 above, enter:
change
1<5
/Weekly//
or
.;':
change
15
/weekly/
to obtain:
00015 REPORT OF EMPLOYEE ABSENTEEISM
In these examples of the CHANGE subcommand, special-delimiter notation
has been used to specify character sequences. You may. however, use an
alternate form of notation, the qu~ted-string notation. General rules
for quoted-string notation are:
• Begin and end each sequence with an apostrophe. (The system will
not use the apostrophes in its operations on your character
sequence. )
• separate character sequences with a blank.
• specify two apostrophes in place of one whenever you wish to include
an apostrophe within a character sequence.
for example, to replace WEEKLY with DAILY in the current line, you
can use the special-delimiter notation:
change * /weekly/daily/
or the quoted-string notation:
change * • weekly' 'daily'
To delete"DAILY from the current line, you can use:
change * 'daily'
"
instead of:
change * /daily//
To insert WEEKLY at the beginning of line 15, you can use:
change 15" • weekly'
or
change 15 //weekly/
