Re: How to insert a character in a string in RPGLE

Another thing to check out is the %REPLACE BIF, available starting with V4R3.

%REPLACE(replacement string: source string{:start position {:source length to
replace}}) 

Here is a short example that finds the first apostrophe and inserts another
without replacing the one that was found.  

Dapost            c                   ''''                 
Dstr              s             20    inz('Now''s okay')   
Di                s             10i 0                      
C                   eval      i = %scan(apost:str)         
C                   eval      str = %replace(apost:str:i:0)
C     str           dsply                                  
C                   eval      *inlr = *on
