Help regarding the Syntax "REPLACE"

[Former Member]

Dear Experts,

I'm stuck with a problem..... i am trying to REPLACE ALL OCCURRENCES OF 'AND' WITH 'AND datab LE' INTO s_where-low

and since im working with 4.6 this syntax gives me an syntax error as it wont recognize "ALL OCCURRENCES OF" as valid syntax,

Can someone plssss give me an alternative to achieve the above...

Thank u Prashant Sriram and Bharat the syntax still gives me an error im workin on 4.6 and i think "ALL OCCURRENCES OF" addition to the REPLACE syntax results in an error .... im looking for an alternative solution.

Hi,

See the example below :

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

Thanks,

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.

Hi

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.
