Re: replacing characters using %subst

["Bill Hopkins" <BHopkins@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hope I did not cloud your mine with my answer but when I saw "replacing 
characters using %subst"
I thought that was what you were going after.

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})

Do NOT get me started again.. 
 
The Infocenter is as elusive as the Scarlet Pimpernell. Bookmarks move and
indexes get deeper and deeper. I did spend a lot of time looking, and I 
did
find the pages but I did not find the proper place evidently. 
 
btw, thanks to everyone for the help.  I had totally missed the first part
where I should substring the left side of the equation.

Booth,
 
You may want to check the online IBM manuals for questions such as these.
These books are great resources for just this type of question.
