REPLACE substring WITH
Short Reference

ABAP_SYNTAX_OBS
REPLACE substring WITH new INTO dobj
$[IN ${BYTE$|CHARACTER$} MODE$]
$[LENGTH len$].

ABAP Addition
1 ... IN ${CHARACTER$|BYTE$} MODE
2 ... LENGTH len

What does it do?
This statement searches a character string or byte chain dobj for the substring specified in substring and replaces the first character string or byte string in dobj that matches substring with the content of the data object new.
The memory areas of substring and new must not overlap, otherwise the result is undefined. If substring is an empty string, the position in front of the first character or byte of the search range is found and the content of new is inserted in front of the first character.
If the length of the intermediate result is longer than the length of dobj, data objects with fixed lengths are truncated on the right. If the length of the intermediate result is shorter than the length of dobj, data objects of fixed length are padded on the right with blanks or hexadecimal zeros. Data objects of variable length are adjusted accordingly.
In character string processing, the trailing blanks are respected for data objects dobj, substring, and new of type c , d, n, or t.
System Fields sy-subrcMeaning 0The substring in substring was replaced in the target field dobj by the content of new. 4The substring in substring could not be replaced in the target field dobj by the content of new.

ABAP Addition

What does it do?
The optional addition IN ${CHARACTER$|BYTE$} MODE determines whether character string or byte string processing is performed. If the addition is not specified, character string processing is carried out. Depending on the processing type, the data objects substring, new, and dobj must be character-like or byte-like.
• LENGTH REPLACE - obsolete

ABAP Addition

What does it do?
If the addition LENGTH is not specified, all the data objects involved are evaluated in their entire length. If the addition LENGTH is specified, only the first len characters or bytes of substring are used for the search. len expects a data object of the type i.
