The following CONVERT statement does work, CONVERT "&" TO "&" IN LINE Does anyone know what's happening here. <snip> The CONVERT statement does a character for character replacement in the string. The first character in the "&" is replaced with the first character of the string "&". So (humorously) your example you replaced the "&" with another "&". And yes, many of us have done this before too! ;^) If you wish to change whole words, then use CHANGE. The BASIC manual can be downloaded in .PDF format from the U2 support site.
