Hi,

Try this code:

data: l_text type string.

data: l_char type c value `'`.

l_text = `L'Belstar`.

replace ALL OCCURRENCES OF l_char

IN l_text WITH ' ' IN CHARACTER MODE.

write: l_text.

Regards,

Joy.

Hello,

You need one quote to open the literal, two to represent the quote character and one more to close the literal:


DATA:
  lv_test TYPE c LENGTH 10 VALUE 'L''BELSTAR'.

REPLACE ALL OCCURRENCES OF '''' IN lv_test WITH ' ' IN CHARACTER MODE.


DATA:
  lv_test TYPE c LENGTH 10 VALUE 'L''BELSTAR'.

TRANSLATE LV_TEST USING ''' '.

Regards.

Hello,

You need to convert the variable to be translated to a type c (just create a variable with type c and the move the contents to this one) and then use one of the commands.

Remember that the length of the c variable must be sufficient to take all characters from the variable to be changed.
