REPLACE Syntax Diagramm
REPLACE ... WITH ... INTO ...
Syntax
REPLACE f WITH g INTO h.
Additions
1. ... LENGTH len
2. ... IN BYTE MODE
3. ... IN CHARACTER MODE
See Only character-like fields in character string processing.
You should no longer use the second variant in Unicode programs. For details on this, see Character String Processing.
Effect
The first occurrence of the contents of field f in field h is replaced with the contents
of field g. All fields involved are always evaluated in their defined length, including C fields in which blanks at the end are normally ignored.
System values
Return Code indicates whether the search character string f was found in h and could be replaced with g:
sy-subrc = 0
Character string could be replaced.
sy-subrc <> 0
Character string could not be replaced.
Example
DATA field(10) TYPE C.
MOVE 'ABCB' TO field.
REPLACE 'B' WITH 'string' INTO field.
returns: field = 'AstringCB', SY-SUBRC = 0
Note
The fields f and g of the REPLACE statement must not overlap since the result is undefined then.
Addition 1
... LENGTH len
Effect
The search pattern f is not searched for in field h in its defined field length but in the length len.
Example
DATA: pattern(6) TYPE C VALUE 'ABC',
len TYPE I,
repl_string(6) TYPE C VALUE '123456',
field(12) TYPE C VALUE 'abcdeABCDE'.
REPLACE pattern WITH repl_string INTO field.
Does not change field since 'ABC ' does not occur in 'abcdeABCDE '.
len = STRLEN( pattern ).
REPLACE pattern LENGTH len
WITH repl_string
INTO field.
Changes field to 'abcde123456D'.
Addition 2
... IN BYTE MODE
Effect
If you use this addition, all fields must be of the type X or XSTRING.
Addition 3
... IN CHARACTER MODE
Effect
This addition is optional and corresponds to the default setting.
