Hi,

I have a string with values like

'abc', 'xyz', 'lmn'

i.e. values in single quotes and comma separated. This complete string is read in an ampersand variable.

I have to convert this string to following string

'''abc'', ''xyz'', ''lmn'''

Any function I use takes 'abc', 'xyz', 'lmn' as 3 different parameters instead of a single parameter. What function should I use to get my final string.

Thanks,
CD

Well you can't have tried very hard CD, STRREP or CTRAN work fine:
-SET &dqString=STRREP(&sqString.LENGTH,&sqString,1,'''',1,'"',&sqString.LENGTH,'A&sqString.LENGTH');
-SET &dqString=CTRAN(&sqString.LENGTH,&sqString,39,34,'A&sqString.LENGTH');

Please confirm if this works for you. You haven't acknowledged if the suggestions provided by members for you provide a working solution in many of your last topics.

Thanks Alan for all your solutions and suggestions.
STRREP is what I was looking for. Since directly using CTRAN or POSIT was giving me problems.
