You can use convert function...It should do for your requirement

Convert is only a character replacement not the substring replacement.

Were you to bother with a Search you would find that an equivalent parallel function has been posted. (You also need to be aware that Change() function and Ereplace() function are essentially identical.) Search this forum for Ereplace.

Hi Ray,I know the difference between change and ereplace function.I have tried in search for equivalent parallel function of change() but I could not find it,I saw some other workarounds like writing to sequential files in server and then using it but I couldnot find the equivalent function of change() in parallel job.

Change() is a subset of Ereplace(). Search, therefore, for a parallel equivalent of Ereplace(). Its author is DSGuru2B.
