Batch SDSF Question regarding ISFAFD

I have used batch SDSF for years but now I need to notch it up a level. I would need to update some of the fields where overtyping is allowed. I don't believe batch SDSF will allow this but I have found hints that ISFAFD will. Anyone out there have a sample piece of JCL that shows how to tab over
