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.
