Answer / jagan

Thavasi ,
In your case , check the record number 1 and 4 which has 3
in the second position of it . As your have given LEADING .
As it encounters the first '3' in any of the position in
the record , it will change it to '5' .

Please correct me if i am wrong...

Answer / pa

read the record to the WS varible defined below
01 ws-var1.
05 ws-var2 pic x(1).
05 ws-var3 pic x(2).

if ws-var2 = '3'
inspect ws-var replacing first '3' by '5'
end -if

read the next record.

Hope it works

Answer / reena

Define the working storage variable in the following way:

01 ws-var1.
05 ws-var2 pic x(1).
05 ws-var3 pic x(3).

Read the database file.

Move the database field value to the working storage
variable (i.e. ws-var1)

Then preform the following

if ws-var2 = '3'
move '5' to ws-var2
move ws-var1 to the database field
rewrite database record
end -if

read the next record.

Preform the above routine till eof..

Answer / thavasi

The answer is:

move each record to WS-REC PIC X(04).


then write the below statment to be executed for each rec.

INSPECT WS-REC REPLACING LEADING '3' by '5'.

why am i using LEADING instead of FIRST is that the
requirement says that 'STARTING with 3 by 5'
