Re: replacing characters using %subst

How about something different?

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


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

%SUBST(string:start{:length})

 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?
