RE: Re: CPYBREP issue

This is how they do it in the RPGIII compiler,
Something like this:
  MOVE *ALLX'0020' WRKBUF

Would be turned into a loop using CPYBLA.

The VLOG created by the compile failure indicates that CPYBREP does not 
support variable length operands.

Alternatively, can you use CPYBREP to initialize a work buffer with the 
   unicode value (where the work buffer is at least as long as the 
substring), and then use CPYBLA to copy bytes from the work buffer to 
the substring of the target buffer?  e.g.:

cpybrep  wrkbuf, x'0020';
...
CPYBLA BUFASTR(.IRF:.I), wrkbuf;
