REPLACEOCC keyword

Specifies which occurrence of a line you want to replace:

• Use LAST if you want i5/OS to replace the last occurrence of the FILESEARCHSTR.
• Use ALL if you want i5/OS to replace all occurrences of the FILESEARCHSTR.
• Use FIRST if you want i5/OS to replace the first occurrence of the FILESEARCHSTR.

Use FILESEARCHSTR to specify the entire line that you want to replace.

i5/OS deletes the line that matches the FILESEARCHSTR and adds the specified VAR and ADDSTR to the file at this location.

Note:

REPLACEOCC has precedence over LOCATION and FILESEARCHPOS. If i5/OS does not find the FILESEARCHSTR value used with a REPLACEOCC keyword, it adds a new line based on the value of the LOCATION keyword but does not replace a line.
