My output of ch-6 is changed to Albert Einstein and my ch-7 is still showing no output after attempting ch-7… How to resolve both outputs?

I’ve seen where this happens, getting junk in data from an outside source, so not an entirely contrived example.
The Challenge does seem to be going faster than last year’s. Less SORT/VSM and Rexx for sure.

I like the way you hide some parts now! It’s much more clear for me to understand the activities in your blog, and a bit challenging as we don’t see the answer right way. Thank you!

Hi Kevin,
Yes I agree, with that the people know better how the data are constructed 😉
Yes again, I think is a question of better understanding how they intended to teach. Anyway it seems quite different, something more modern (remember the videos of the beginning), with an air of zowe in mind, and less COBOL, and less REXX, don’t you?

But I still like the challenge! And who knows, maybe a work on this area?

Kind regards
Georges

Hi Georges

Yes indeed, I don’t believe something like this will be seen in the work field. But I guess it’s a nice way of showing that something like this could happen.

Do you also have the feeling that these part 3 challenges are shorter than last years’ challenges? Or do we just solve them quicker?

Kind regards,
-Kevin

Hi Kevin,
Good solution!
But from my point of vue is not realistic, because normally you have a text with regular characters, then the only thing to do is to replace the sentence as is: “Who said this” with no other characters.
Anyway I think your answer is the one expected!
