%ScanRpl is only for 7.1 as far as I know

But this should work for you

C eval SubDta = %Replace(Replc_Colon: SubDta:
C %Scan(Test_Colon:
SubDta))

Try the newer %SCANRPL
but I'm not sure you won't have a problem with matching a variable number of
spaces . . .

Subject: Scan and Replace



I am trying to understand scan and replace. I am looking at a string which
is found during my scanning of SRCDTA of a source file. I am trying to find
the spaces ' ' and replace them with no spaces ''. The HP code that I am
converting allowed both in a case of COPY EQUIPMNT, EQIPX for example. The
variables are different depending on which HP programs are being looked at.
I am wanting to find those spaces and turn the code into something like
this: COPYEQUIPMNT,EQIPX so that it will be consistant when writing the
AS400 equivilent.

I am working in RPGLE and do have the SRCDTA of that line into SUBDTA. I
cannot figure out the copy and replace from there. Please help me, I know
the COPY line is for sure wrong but I am at a loss on how to fix it and get
the correct line generated..

C ' ' SCAN SUBDTA
C EVAL SUBDTA=%REPLACE(' ':'')
