That sounds like a great use case for regexen.

This should be easy, but it escapes me... I have an 80-byte LRECL list of filenames (starting in col 1, varying lengths), and I need to capture just the last node of the file, and store it as a separate word on the record, in col 51. For example, if the file has JOSEPH.CONTROL.SAMPLIB.JCL PRODUCTION.CONTROL.VSAM.DATABASE.INDEX I would like the records to be JOSEPH.CONTROL.SAMPLIB.JCL(now here 24 spaces)JCL PRODUCTION.CONTROL.VSAM.DATABASE.INDEX(12 spaces)INDEX I expect I can use a Parse statement, but not sure how to get the last occurrence of something... Thanks for your help!
