Re: replacing characters using %subst

Another simple question for which I don't know the answer.

Lets say I want to substring characters 3 through 8 from the string
abcdefghijklmnopqrst and put those characters in position  13 through 18 of
a field named FIELD2 which is large enough.

C eval FIELD2 = ??? what goes here?

eval %subst(field2:13:6)=%subst('abcdefghijklmnopqrst':3:6);

Cheers! Hans
