That’s essentially the same thing you said in the original question. We still don’t know what you mean. Show us example code from each of the different items. For example, are the CL references in COPYRIGHT statements and the DDS constants for screen titles? Are these stored in RPG variables for memory eye-catchers? If they’re in DDS, why are they also in RPG or CL? What is actually done with these values? Do they take part in logic paths? Or are they in comments? Are their any spanned lines? Would a change in length cause displacement of other values in memory or in output? We need to see a group of examples. — Tom

Hi Group,Sorry for the confusion.This project is regarding the “Brand Change”.The company name appears in most of the Applications. The name is “MSG Application Business”. Now we need to change it to “MSG”.We have identified around 100 applications (DSPF, PRTF, CLP, CBL) that are impacted.How to change this in one go?Regards,M

But the storage method is separate from the question length and impact. In order to be sure about that, we need to know what “title” means in the various objects. Tom

A message file is good. Each similar constant has its own message ID. DDS can reference them directly. A single program procedure can be bound/called for use in any program. Changes are easy. Tom

I would center ABC in the 25 character field. Actually, I would move ABC to either a data area or a file so that the next time the company name changes you won’t have to make any program changes.

What is a “title”? You listed multiple object types. The word “title” doesn’t fit all of those objects the same way. We can’t answer your questions without some idea what you’re doing. Tom
