Re: replacing characters using %subst

Shannon,

You're right.  It is frustrating when they move stuff around.  But you're 
also quite right that for looking up basic syntax in the ILE RPG manual is 
not really hard.

Sorry to hear that.  I've always had good luck finding answers to 
questions
such as your basic syntax question pretty easily in the info-center.
However, I do feel your pain as far as IBM pages moving around, book marks
disappearing and so on. That's been an ongoing problem for years. It's
readily apparent that the folks who run/manage IBM's content for their
website are not actual users of the information. If they were, they'd see
that links don't work, or they'd recognize how annoying it is to bookmark 
a
useful page and then go back to it a month later only to discover that the
page has dissapeared, been renamed or merged with a new page.
