Hi,

I have found that the 'REPLACE' statement has become obselete.Which is the new keyword we can use for the same.

Small correction: [REPLACE INTO|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/fc/eb33cc358411d1829f0000e829fbfe/content.htm] is obsolete, not the [REPLACE|http://help.sap.com/abapdocu_70/en/ABAPREPLACE.htm] statement itself. The last link contains the syntax you should use.

Cheers, harald

Try something like following

DATA LV_CAR TYPE CHAR10.
LV_CAR = 'FFFHHHHFGG'.
WRITE :/ LV_CAR.
REPLACE ALL OCCURRENCES OF 'F' IN LV_CAR WITH 'G'.
WRITE :/ LV_CAR.

Hi,

Replace is not Obsolute statement.


REPLACE ALL OCCURRENCES OF '/' IN file_path WITH space

Hi there

I believe its not the use of the word REPLACE but really the syntax of how to use it that has changed.

Instead of :

REPLACE str1 WITH str2 INTO string.

Now you would say :

There is more specific detail behind its use this is basically to allow for a more accurate use of the syntax and more control on the output.
