So I could use the exact same 'CHANGE' syntax on Universe, then? That would
be ideal -- even though I'm only converting the one character -- so could
use CONVERT -- but if the same syntax will work as on UD then that's even
better!
Does this work with the exact same syntax? Where
NEWARRAY = CHANGE(OLDARRAY,SVM,VM)
Would change the char(252) to char(253) in the string 'OLDARRAY'
Thanks a mil,
Susan

Actually CONVERT will only work to replace 1 character with 1 other
character (well, it's more complicated than that because you provide
a list of character to replace and another list of character to
use for replacement but it's positionally dependant). It's
what I use for converting 1 single character to another single
character myself.
But the CHANGE function, which is available in Universe, is
more powerful since it can take a substring and convert
it to a different length substring. So you convert all
the OUT's in your string to IN's.
