Hi everyone
I want to thank everyone that replied to my question
I will probably end up using Dave Clark's suggestion
Select REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(a.bfname, ',', ' '), '"', ' '), '''', ' ') as New_Bfname from file a
But I will need to test it out first

I would use regex_replace
... but Regex_Replace converts everything into UTF-16 DBCLOBs which may slow down the execution!

I would use regex_replace
values (
regexp_replace ('abc,def"ghi', ',|"' , ' ' )
)
the | is "or" so it says: comma or double quotes

Hi everyone
We are on V7r3
I need to replace double quotes (") and commas (,) in strings with a
space I know I can use replace Select REPLACE(a.bfname, ',', ' ') as
New_Bfname from file a Select REPLACE(a.bfname, '"', ' ') as

My predicament is to replace quotes (') in strings with a space Any
idea how that can be achieved?
AND
Is there a way to incorporate ALL the changes in one go
