Replacing

The Find/Replace window provides numerous options to allow for flexibility in replacing data.

If a match is found for the search criteria that was provided, the data that was retrieved can be replaced with new data. There are however some limitations to replacing data during a search:

Variable-length files:

Fixed-length files:

Once a match has been found, several options have been made available for replacing the existing data. Selecting the “Replace/Find” button will replace the current match with the characters entered into the "Replace With" field. Once the replace is completed, the editor will move on to the next match. If it is necessary to replace multiple instances of the same match with new data, selecting the "Replace All" button will make the correction for all matches in the search.

The Find/Replace window allows you to perform a search within the data set using selective criteria to help narrow the results that are found.
