I'm using the GETTOK for the labels from a launch page. The problem is that some labels contain # character. How can I add the STRREP function to replace # with %23?

-SET &HLBL = GETTOK('&LISTLBL.EVAL',&LISTLBL.LENGTH, &I, '~', &LISTLBL.LENGTH, 'A&LISTLBL.LENGTH');
-SET &HLBL_LEN = ARGLEN(&HLBL.LENGTH, &HLBL, 'I5');
-SET &HLBL.&I = SUBSTR(&LISTLBL.LENGTH, &LISTLBL,1, &HLBL_LEN.EVAL, &HLBL_LEN.EVAL, 'A&HLBL_LEN.EVAL');

I've tried this:
-SET &HLLISTLBL=STRREP(&LISTLBL.LENGTH, '&LISTLBL.EVAL', 1, '#', 3, '%23', &LISTLBL.LENGTH, 'A100');

This seems to work:

-SET &LABEL1 = '#IAMALABEL';

-SET &HLABEL1 = STRREP (&LABEL1.LENGTH, '&LABEL1.EVAL', 1, '#', 3, '%23', 100, 'A100');

-TYPE &HLABEL1.LENGTH
-SET &HLABEL1 = TRUNCATE(&HLABEL1);
-TYPE &HLABEL1.LENGTH

-TYPE LABEL1: &LABEL1
-TYPE HLABEL1: &HLABEL1

I added the TRUNCATE to truncate the data after the STRREP.

You're substituting 1 char (#) by 3 chars (%23), so the in and out LENGTH cannot be the same in the STRREP function.

Please find the sample snippet and i have tested the same in 7.7.03

-SET &P_PARAMETERS = 'This is # hash';
-SET &P_PARAMETERS = &P_PARAMETERS||' ';
-SET &P_PARAMETERS = STRREP(&P_PARAMETERS.LENGTH, &P_PARAMETERS, 1, '#', 3, '%3A', &P_PARAMETERS.LENGTH, &P_PARAMETERS);
-TYPE &P_PARAMETERS
-EXIT

You're substituting 1 char (#) by 3 chars (%3A), so the in and out LENGTH cannot be the same in the STRREP function.

Thanks
