REPLACE : want to replace the string

Former Member — Mon, 22 Sep 2008 09:30:02 GMT

Hello All,

I need to replace a word(GO) in a sentence with another word(GONE). these words are stores in the variables var1(6) & var2(6) used the keyword REPLACE for this But I am getting some unwanted blank spaces. I used CONDENE keyword then also one blank space remains. I should not get any unwanted blank space. Please help me.

Data : var1(6) type c.

Data : var2(6) type c.

Data : var3(15) type c.

Data : len type i.

var1 = 'GO'.

var2 = 'GONE'.

var3 = 'ABCDGOEFGH'

len = strlen(var1).

REPLACE var1LENGTH len WITH var2 INTO var3.

Then the new sentence is coming like

ABCDGONE EFGH

I used CONDENSE then again it is coming like.

ABCDGONE EFGH

I need the sentence like ABCDGONEEFGH

Regards,

Lijo John

hi,

you have to use CONDENSE var3 NO-GAPS . (CONDENSE alone will reduce only to one space.)

hope this helps

Hi,

I have changed the code written by you.

Check this-

Data : var1(6) type c.
Data : var2(6) type c.
Data : var3(15) type c.
Data : len type i.


var1 = 'GO'.
var2 = 'GONE'.

var3 = 'ABCDGOEFGH'.

len = strlen( var1 ).

REPLACE var1 LENGTH len WITH var2 INTO var3.

condense var3 no-gaps.
write:var3.

Dear Friends,

I cannot restrict the variable length. The data length will be keep changing as per the situation.

eg.

va1 = 'Please raise the Travel Req'

var2 ='Please raise an Emergency Travel Req'

and some space should be there. I dont want to chage that spaces also.

Regards,

Lijo

Hi,

Plz check your variable declaration part :


Data : var1(2) type c.
Data : var2(4) type c.
Data : var3(12) type c.
Data : len type i.

Use

" CONDENSE  var3 No-GAPS. "

thanx.
