You are welcome.
REPL works fine if the old-data and new-data lengths are same.
In your case, REPL is updating the old-data at first position(C".") with new data(C"."). That's why you are not able to detect any difference.
If you try with different string, REPL=(1,0,C".&VERN..",C'X'), you would find that .&VERN.. has been updated to X&VERN..
Use EDIT or EDITALL to replace data in a record with data of different lengths.
Use REPL or REPLALL to replace data of the same length.
