Use MPE system functions to do it for you...

In your quiz...

define D-REPLACE char*50 = '![repl("' + NAME + '",";"," ")]'
define D-NAME char*30 = getsystemval("D_REPL") if
setsystemval("D_REPL",D-REPLACE)

Where NAME is your source field and D-NAME is the result.

Subject: Character replace in Quiz

Greetings to the -L, 

Environment: Quiz 8.39.C running on MPE/iX 6.5 

I have a char*30 source field that may contain any number of semi-colons
which I need to replace with spaces. Any advice on the most efficient way of
doing this?

regards,
