REPLACE by Pattern

Replaces strings in fields with other strings using a pattern.

Syntax

REPLACE [ FIRST OCCURENCE OF | ALL OCCURENCES OF ] <old>

IN [ SECTION OFFSET <off> LENGTH <len> OF ] <text> WITH <new>

[IGNORING CASE|RESPECTING CASE]

[IN BYTE MODE|IN CHARACTER MODE]

[REPLACEMENT COUNT <c>]

[REPLACEMENT OFFSET <r>]

[REPLACEMENT LENGTH <l>].

Hi,

The warning is only applicable if you are using TRANSLATE on the content which could be of any language apart from English.

If the variable for which you are using TRANSLATE will only hold ENGLISH values, then please ignore the warning.

Best regards,

Before translating to upper or lower case letters, the system has to be set to the current text environment.

This statement is used for this purpose

SET LOCALE LANGUAGE sy-langu.

it will run accordingly to the system language...

if ur logon languae is other than 'EN'...it works perfectly for those languages also...

hi,

You can set the language even inside a loop.

As soon as you set the language, it applies to the program.

It is better to set before the loop starts, instead of setting it for every loop pass.
