REPLACE

REPLACE

Obsolete

This command is replaced by the Define command.

Purpose

To replace in compilation all occurrences of one token source code with another.

Syntax

#REPLACE {existing} {replacement}

What It Does

#REPLACE causes the compiler to replace any subsequent occurrence of a symbolic token with some other symbol. Example:

#REPLACE C_iMaxLines 100

In the above example, any subsequent occurrence of the token C_iMaxLines will be replaced with the number 100 by the compiler.

Other examples of #REPLACE follow:

#REPLACE S_nGrossPay  (nHours * nRate)
#REPLACE S_nNetPay    (nGrossPay – nDeductions)

Notes

• #REPLACE must be spelled in capital letters.
• #REPLACE does not affect portions of source code above the line on which it is placed. It only affects source code following it.
• The Define command is better suited for declaring program constants.
