Hi,

See the example below :

DATA: c4(4) TYPE C. 
c4 = 'abab'. 
REPLACE ALL OCCURRENCES OF 'ab' IN c4 WITH 'CCC'.

Thanks,

Sri.

Hi Goldie,

You can do it like below:

Do.

REPLACE f ...WITH g ...INTO h.

if sy-subrc = 0.

else.

exit.

endif.

Enddo.

This will keep on replacing the field with new one till it exists and when not it will exit out of loop.

Please reward points if reply is helpful.

Check Possible Operations of REPLACE below "

replacing values

DATA: t4(10) TYPE c VALUE 'abcdefghij',

string4 LIKE t4,

str41(4) TYPE c VALUE 'cdef',

str42(4) TYPE c VALUE 'klmn',

str43(2) TYPE c VALUE 'kl',

str44(6) TYPE c VALUE 'klmnop',

len4 TYPE i VALUE 2.

string4 = t4.

WRITE string4.

REPLACE str41 WITH str42 INTO string4.

WRITE / string4.

string4 = t4.

REPLACE str41 WITH str42 INTO string4 LENGTH len4.

WRITE / string4.

string4 = t4.

REPLACE str41 WITH str43 INTO string4.

WRITE / string4.

string4 = t4.

REPLACE str41 WITH str44 INTO string4.

WRITE / string4.
