The OUTREC statement can be used with FINDREP to search for specific strings or values in the records and replace them with other strings or values.

Syntax -

//SYSIN    DD *
  SORT FIELDS=...
  OUTREC FINDREP=(IN=charset,
         OUT=charset)
/*

IN=charset	Specifies source charset (the "find" string) .
OUT=charset	Specifies new or target charset (the "replace" string).

Examples -

Scenario1 - Replacing a specific string.

//SYSIN   DD  *
  SORT FIELDS=COPY
  OUTREC FINDREP=(IN=C'OLD',OUT=C'NEW')
/*

Searches for the string 'OLD' in each record and replaces it with 'NEW'.

Scenario2 - Replacing a numeric value.

//SYSIN   DD  *
  SORT FIELDS=COPY
  OUTREC FINDREP=(IN=123,OUT=456)
/*

Searches for the numeric value 123 in the record and replaces it with 456.

Scenario3 - Replacing Multiple Strings.

//SYSIN   DD  *
  SORT FIELDS=COPY
  OUTREC FINDREP=(IN=C'OLD1',OUT=C'NEW1',IN=C'OLD2',OUT=C'NEW2')
/*

Searches for both 'OLD1' and 'OLD2' in each record and replaces them with 'NEW1' and 'NEW2', respectively.
