The below piece of code works flawlessly in WebFOCUS 8, but not in 7.6.6 It is not accepting ' ' as the string to be replaced. How to solve this out in 7.6.6.

-SET &ECHO= ALL;

-SET &OLD_VARIABLE = '500-200-300-400';
-TYPE &OLD_VARIABLE
-SET &NEW_VARIABLE = STRREP (&OLD_VARIABLE.LENGTH, &OLD_VARIABLE, 1, '-', 1, ' ', &OLD_VARIABLE.LENGTH, 'A&OLD_VARIABLE.LENGTH');
-TYPE &NEW_VARIABLE

-EXIT

Use HEXBYT(32, 'A1') in place of the quoted space character.

T

Tech support cases state to use a visible character after the space in the text.

e.g.
-SET &NEW_VARIABLE = STRREP (&OLD_VARIABLE.LENGTH, &OLD_VARIABLE, 1, '-', 1, ' X', &OLD_VARIABLE.LENGTH, 'A&OLD_VARIABLE.LENGTH');

The length of the string is still 1 so you only get the space.
