Re: Scan and replace in CL variable

When rolling your own, think about whether you want to replace just the
first occurrence or all of them.

Assuming you want what %SCANRPL does in RPG, a simple thing to do is write
a little RPG program that wraps that BIF and is easily callable from CL.

I need to remove apostrophes from a CL variable. The best solution I've
come up with so far has been to use %SCAN to find the position of the
apostrophe, use %SUBSTRING to grab everything up until the apostrophe,
CONCAT that with everything after the apostrophe, and stuff that back
into the original variable.
It's clunky but I think it should work.

My question is, am I missing a better solution?

Thanks for any ideas on this.
