OVERLAY Short Reference
ABAP_SYNTAX OVERLAY text1 WITH text2 $[ONLY mask$].
What does it do? Characters in the variable text1 are replaced by the characters in the operand text2 that are in the same place there. text2 is a character-like expression position. If the addition ONLY is not specified, all blanks in text1 are replaced. If the addition ONLY is specified, all characters are replaced that occur in the operand mask. This is case-sensitive. mask is also a character-like expression position. If the lengths of text1 and text2 are different, text1 is processed using the shorter length only. The operands text1, text2, and mask must be character-like operands. In operands of fixed length, trailing blanks are respected. If mask is an empty string, no replacements are made. System Fields sy-subrcMeaning 0At least one character in text1 has been replaced. 4No characters in text1 have been replaced.
