REPLACE is an ABAP command. You have answered your own question.

Hi,

Try like this,



data: c_quote(4) type c value ''''.
data: var type string.

REPLACE ALL OCCURRENCES OF c_quote WITH space INTO var.

Hi,

In your case first place value is '. So, u can clear in this way....

For example...

The STR variable contains the value '00425879

Now in the above variable STR, first place i.e STR+0(1) contains the value '

WRITE '' TO STR+0(1).

Then it will replace ' as empty and now the variable STR contains the value 00425879

str = '''123''3'.

REPLACE ALL OCCURRENCES OF '''' IN str WITH space.

Hi,

You only telling that it's coming from internal table right.

Go through this code....

REPORT  ZSHAN_COMMA.

data: BEGIN OF itab occurs 0,
        str(10) type c,
      END OF itab.

data: wa_str LIKE itab.

MOVE '''10' TO itab-str.
APPEND itab.
MOVE '20' TO itab-str.
APPEND itab.
MOVE '30' TO itab-str.
APPEND itab.
MOVE '''40' TO itab-str.
APPEND itab.

LOOP AT itab INTO wa_str.
write:/ wa_str-str.
ENDLOOP.

LOOP AT itab INTO wa_str.
IF wa_str-str+0(1) EQ ''''.
WRITE '' TO wa_str-str+0(1).
MODIFY itab FROM wa_str INDEX SY-TABIX.
ENDIF.
ENDLOOP.

LOOP AT itab INTO wa_str.
write:/ wa_str-str.
ENDLOOP.

Shankar.
