REPLACE

Former Member — Thu, 16 Aug 2007 16:10:31 GMT

I want to replace all occurances of

/tmp/

with

\windows\homedir\ in the variants set for the programs.

The program name is on selection screen and i am dynamically reading variants.

REPLACE '/tmp/' WITH '\windows\homedir\' into w_path.

works fine.

If I now create paramters that accept the 'from text' and 'to text' and use Replace, it doesnt work. (SY-SUBRC = 4)

parameters : p_from type rlgrap-filename,

p_to type rlgrap-filename.

replace P_FROM with P_TO into w_path.

I need the from and to texts to be user inpits.

Another question : REPLACE only changes first occurance in a string, what if I want to REPLACE all occurances?

for ex in
wwlvfs1009\SystemFolders\DEV\' , I want to replace all '\' with '/'

What version of SAP are you on? I am on 4.6, and REPLACE ALL OCCURENCES is a syntax error.
