Did you know that about ten years ago, IBM created a %replace() bif?

Subject: Replace 1 Char with 3Char's

Does anyone know of away (other than brute force) to replace one
Character with 3 Characters?

This is an XML file that I am getting via the httpapi via http_url_post
function [Thanks Scott!], in an RPG program. The program I'm trying to
replace is a Delphi program that took a block of data and did a replace
in each block of data with some Delphi function that would replace "<"
with 'CRLF' +"<" so that it could be later copied into a fix length
record format to process on the iSeries. (the xml is all one long
string, yuck!)

Only way I can think of is with two user spaces and using pointers, etc.
I'm so close to shoving one more Delphi program out the door and getting
this entirely a iSeries function. I just had to ask before I beat my
head on a wall coming up with something to do this.

Thanks,
-- Jim Lowary (looking for a soft wall!)
