Issue/Introduction

You want to replace a value in a static VARA. Replace does not do the job:

REPLACE VARA, VARA.UC4#[email protected]_INFO, *, "@@@[email protected]@@", “xxxxxxxx”
REPLACE VARA, VARA.UC4#[email protected]_INFO, *, "@@@[email protected]@@", “xxxxxxxx”
REPLACE VARA, VARA.UC4#[email protected]_INFO, *, "@@@[email protected]@@", “xxxxxxxx”

The Output shows that nothing is done:
