Issue with replace

Former Member — Tue, 03 Sep 2013 14:36:22 GMT

Hi experts,

In the following code, I am replacing the first digit of my value by 0 and the last digit by 0 also.

It's working fine for the first digit but not always for the last one and i don't see why:

DATA:

lgn TYPE i,

antec TYPE /bic/oizbpn,

antecid TYPE /bic/oizbpn.

IF source_fields_rule-/bic/zbpntrans = 'XXX'.

antec = source_fields_rule-/bic/zbpn.

lgn = STRLEN( antec ) - 1.

REPLACE antec+0(1) IN antec WITH '0'.

REPLACE antec+lgn(1) IN antec WITH '0'.

RESULT = antec.

ELSE.

RESULT = source_fields_rule-/bic/zbpn.

ENDIF.

Thanks for your support.

Hi,

What you're code is doing is to replace the characters that are equal to your first and last character with 0.

You should change this lines:

REPLACE antec+0(1) IN antec WITH '0'.

REPLACE antec+lgn(1) IN antec WITH '0'.

And try with:

antec+0(1) = '0'.

antec+lgn(1) = '0'.

The first letter is always replaced by 0, by the last one not always.
