Here's a block I use for some address validation...
// Remove any punctuation from the City Name.
DoW %scan(',':pAddress.City)>0;
pAddress.City = %replace('' : pAddress.City
:%scan(',':pAddress.City):1);
EndDo;
DoW %scan('.':pAddress.City)>0;
pAddress.City = %replace('' : pAddress.City
:%scan('.':pAddress.City):1);
EndDo;
DoW %scan('?':pAddress.City)>0;
pAddress.City = %replace('' : pAddress.City
:%scan('?':pAddress.City):1);
EndDo;
DoW %scan('!':pAddress.City)>0;
pAddress.City = %replace('' : pAddress.City
:%scan('!':pAddress.City):1);
EndDo;

%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(' ':'')
