RE: %Len vs. %Size in %Replace

["Bill Hopkins" <BHopkins@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This may have nothing to do with your compile, but it did OK on v5r1 but 
you might want to look at this though:

      5       C                   EVAL      String = 
%Replace(ObjectName:String 
      6       C %Scan('qqqqqqqqqq':String 
      7       C                                       %Size(ObjectName))

     12       C %Scan('qqqqqqqqqq':String) 
     13       C                                      %Len(ObjectName))   
     14       C                   Eval      *Inlr  = *on

Note the message from above on line 5. 

%size returns length of field as 10 numeric constant 
%len returns length of what's inside of field 0-10 as number of bytes 
%replace fourth parm is looking for any numeric value or numeric expression 
with no decimal positions.

Don't see why you'd get an error on that. FYI, Parm 4 defaults to the 
length
of Parm1, so you wouldn't need either in your example.

  Why doesn't %Replace() accept the %Size BIF in the 4th parm?

  This won't compile - it receives "RNF0384 The fourth parameter for 
%REPLACE is not valid."

ObjectName               10A
String           80A

C                EVAL String = %Replace( ObjectName :
                                                 String :
                                                 %Scan( 'qqqqqqqqqq': 
String ) :
                                                 %Size( ObjectName ) )

  This does compile:

C                EVAL String = %Replace( ObjectName :
                                                 String :
                                                 %Scan( 'qqqqqqqqqq': 
String ) :
                                                  %Len( ObjectName ) )
