[SOLVED] Reformat of input variable

Hi,

I need to reformat the following variable into a new variable with an entirely different format. How can this be done?

Incoming variable value: (small|large|huge)

The income variable values will be assigned a "code":
small = 3
large = 12
huge = 8

I also need to have comma's between each code.
Final output variable format needed: (3,12,8)

Thanks in advance!

Use the function STRREP:

-SET &VAR1 = '(small|large|huge)';

-SET &VAR1A = 
-  STRREP (&VAR1.LENGTH, &VAR1, 5, 'small', 1, '3', &VAR1.LENGTH, 'A&VAR1.LENGTH');
-SET &VAR1A = 
-  STRREP (&VAR1A.LENGTH, &VAR1A, 5, 'large', 2, '12', &VAR1.LENGTH, 'A&VAR1.LENGTH');
-SET &VAR1A = 
-  STRREP (&VAR1A.LENGTH, &VAR1A, 5, 'huge', 1, '8', &VAR1.LENGTH, 'A&VAR1.LENGTH');
-SET &VAR1A = 
-  STRREP (&VAR1A.LENGTH, &VAR1A, 1, '|', 1, ',', &VAR1.LENGTH, 'A&VAR1.LENGTH');

-TYPE &VAR1
-TYPE &VAR1A

-*STRREP (inlength, instring, searchlength, searchstring, replength, repstring, outlength, outstring)
