How about this ...

-*
-SET &IND_SECT  = '''11'' OR ''22'' OR ''33''';
-SET &IND_SECT1 = TRUNCATE(STRREP(&IND_SECT.LENGTH,&IND_SECT,4,' OR ',1,',',&IND_SECT.LENGTH,A&IND_SECT.LENGTH));
-*
-TYPE IND_SECT -------------- &IND_SECT
-TYPE IND_SECT(LENGTH) ------ &IND_SECT.LENGTH
-TYPE -----------------------
-TYPE IND_SECT1 ------------- &IND_SECT1
-TYPE IND_SECT1(LENGTH) ----- &IND_SECT1.LENGTH

Try this:
  
-SET &IND_SECT = '''11'' OR ''22'' OR ''33''';
-SET &IND_SECT1 = REPLACE(&IND_SECT, ' OR ', ', ');

-TYPE &IND_SECT
-TYPE &IND_SECT1

Looks looks like your just shy of having REPLACE in your 7610 environment Frowner But is should work in your 8104 Smiler

It became available in 7708.
Functions Reference - Release 7708

Are you taking the value from the launch page or from anywhere else like a variable?

If it comes from the launch page then it gives '11' OR '22' OR '33'..... Why the double quote is coming in the beginning and ending - is there any reason!

For replacing ' OR ' you can use simple replace function like mentioned above.

First of all, the set you have in your last post is wrong. It returns:
 (FOC257) MISSING QUOTE MARKS: ';


Secondly, is the value that you are looking to parse like this? 
 11 OR 22 OR 33


Or is it like this:
 '11' OR '22' OR '33'


Either way the formula would be the same. Copy/paste the code below into a blank procedure in AppStudio and run it:
  
-SET &ECHO=ALL;
-*
-*vvvvvvv NO QUOTES AROUND EACH VALUE vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv
-SET &IND_SECT = '11 OR 22 OR 33';
-TYPE &|IND_SECT: &IND_SECT
-*
-SET &IND_SECT1 = REPLACE(&IND_SECT, ' OR ', ', ');
-TYPE &|IND_SECT1: &IND_SECT1
-*
-*
-*vvvvvvvvvSINGLE QUOTES AROUND EACH VALUE vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv
-SET &IND_SECT = '''11'' OR ''22'' OR ''33''';
-TYPE &|IND_SECT: &IND_SECT
-*
-SET &IND_SECT1 = REPLACE(&IND_SECT, ' OR ', ', ');
-TYPE &|IND_SECT1: &IND_SECT1


You should get the following output in your browser:

-*
 -*vvvvvvv NO QUOTES AROUND EACH VALUE vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv
 -SET &IND_SECT = '11 OR 22 OR 33';
 -TYPE &IND_SECT: 11 OR 22 OR 33
 &IND_SECT: 11 OR 22 OR 33
 -*
 -SET &IND_SECT1 = REPLACE(11 OR 22 OR 33, ' OR ', ', ');
 -TYPE &IND_SECT1: 11, 22, 33
 &IND_SECT1: 11, 22, 33
 -*
 -*
 -*vvvvvvv SINGLE QUOTES AROUND EACH VALUE vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv
 -SET &IND_SECT = '''11'' OR ''22'' OR ''33''';
 -TYPE &IND_SECT: '11' OR '22' OR '33'
 &IND_SECT: '11' OR '22' OR '33'
 -*
 -SET &IND_SECT1 = REPLACE('11' OR '22' OR '33', ' OR ', ', ');
 -TYPE &IND_SECT1: '11', '22', '33'
 &IND_SECT1: '11', '22', '33'



I'm not sure what you are asking about a double quote.

Interesting, I don't see it either.

Once again the ambiguity of IBI's version numbering is causing more confusion than answers.

The link above is for "Release 7708," but the "release" of what? The cover of the pdf says "WebFOCUS Functions Reference Release 7708." I don't see a release numbered 7708 anywhere here: http://documentation.informati....com/collections.asp

Does anyone know of a listing of all WebFOCUS functions and the WF Client release that they are first available?

So I finally found out that REPLACE is available beginning in WF 8201M / Reporting Server 7707 8201M Release Notes

The 7708 version in the link above is for the reporting server version for release 8203, but the function is available beginning in RS 7707.

There went half my day crawling through IBI's vague docs for a simple answer

Developer, I think you need to do some training or search the forum some more.

To specify a single quote within single quoted, just use two of them.

-SET &IND_SECT = '''11'' OR ''22'' OR ''33''';

WebFOCUS Dialog Manager converts them to a single quote in the variable.

So to specify the search text use ''' OR '''

All you need is this:

 
-SET &IND_SECT1 = REPLACE(&IND_SECT, ' OR ', ', ');

If you share the code it will be better understanding to us...
