Hi

I am trying to replace the single quotes with an escape character.

i Have two issues.

* The resultant string gets trimmed off once the length of the original string is more than 15.
* when the original string length is 3 or less , additional characters are getting apended to it .

Is there any way i can solve the issue.

Thank
Naveen.

ya sure ,

read as

'original string'(&tmp)---'length of the original string'(&TL)---'translated string'

'ACCOUNT MNEMONIC'---'16'---'ACCOUNT MNEMONIC ';
'ADD2*'---'05'---'ADD2* ';
'BANK ACCOUNT NUMBER'---'19'---'BANK ACCOUNT NUMB';
'DDA'---'03'---'DDAL ';
'INVESTMENT HORIZON*'---'19'---'INVESTMENT HORIZO';
'MASTER MNEMONIC*'---'16'---'MASTER MNEMONIC* ';
'OWNERS INV EXP*'---'15'---'OWNERS INV EXP* ';

the code i use is ,

-SET &TEMPBUFF.&CT = CTRAN(&TL,&TMP,39,27,A&TL);

TL has the length of the string.
TMP is the original string
TEMPBUFF is an array

Thanks
Naveen.

Is the lack of single quotes around the format a typo?
  
-SET &TEMPBUFF.&CT = CTRAN(&TL,&TMP,39,27,'A&TL');

-SET &TMP1 = 'ACCOUNT MNEMONIC';
-SET &TMP2 = 'ADD2*';
-SET &TMP3 = 'BANK ACCOUNT NUMBER';
-SET &TMP4 = 'DDA';
-SET &TMP5 = 'INVESTMENT HORIZON*';
-SET &TMP6 = 'MASTER MNEMONIC*';
-SET &TMP7 = 'OWNERS INV EXP*';
-SET &TMP8 = 'OWNER''S INV EXP*';

-REPEAT ENDREP1 FOR &CT FROM 1 TO 8 STEP 1

-SET &TEMPBUFF.&CT = CTRAN(&TMP.&CT.LENGTH, &TMP.&CT, 39, 27, 'A&TMP.&CT.LENGTH');

-TYPE
-TYPE &CT : &TMP.&CT - &TEMPBUFF.&CT
-TYPE
-ENDREP1


RESULTS IN:

 
 1 : ACCOUNT MNEMONIC - ACCOUNT MNEMONIC
 2 : ADD2* - ADD2*
 3 : BANK ACCOUNT NUMBER - BANK ACCOUNT NUMBER
 4 : DDA - DDA
 5 : INVESTMENT HORIZON* - INVESTMENT HORIZON*
 6 : MASTER MNEMONIC* - MASTER MNEMONIC*
 7 : OWNERS INV EXP* - OWNERS INV EXP*
 8 : OWNER'S INV EXP* - OWNERS INV EXP*


What "escape character" are you using? Are there really any single quotes in the input? What platform are you running this on?

Its the lack of a .EVAL thats the problem

-SET &TEMPBUFF.&CT = CTRAN(&TL,&TMP,39,27,A&TL.EVAL);

I find this better syntax - much less to remember

-* initialise replacement to same length as original
-SET &TMPNEW = &TMP ;
-SET &TEMPBUFF.&CT = CTRAN(&TMPNEW.LENGTH,&TMPNEW,39,27,&TMPNEW);

Thanks hammo1j

EVAL was the one that was missing . . That works fine now . .

Francis,

Actually while posting , the whitespaces at the end of all the translated string got cut off.

Thanks
Naveen.
