Try the newer %SCANRPL
but I'm not sure you won't have a problem with matching
a variable number of spaces . . .

Subject: Scan and Replace
I am trying to understand scan and replace. I am looking at a string which is found during my scanning of SRCDTA of a source file. I am trying to find the spaces ' ' and replace them with no spaces ''. The HP code that I am converting allowed both in a case of COPY EQUIPMNT, EQIPX for example. The variables are different depending on which HP programs are being looked at. I am wanting to find those spaces and turn the code into something like this: COPYEQUIPMNT,EQIPX so that it will be consistant when writing the AS400 equivilent.
I am working in RPGLE and do have the SRCDTA of that line into SUBDTA. I cannot figure out the copy and replace from there. Please help me, I know the COPY line is for sure wrong but I am at a loss on how to fix it and get the correct line generated..
C ' ' SCAN SUBDTA
C EVAL SUBDTA=%REPLACE(' ':'')
