  ==========*===========*==========
  THIS APAR IS CONSIDERED AS A SUGGESTION
  FOR IMPROVEMENT WHICH CANNOT BE
  INCORPORATED IN VERSION V5R18
  PLEASE CONTACT YOUR SUPPORT DEPARTMENT IN
  ORDER TO OPEN A REQUIREMENT FORM.
  .
  Incident Diagnosis:
  ReplaceSubString only replaces one occurence and
  not all occurences.
  .
  Development Request Justification:
  This specific behavior of ReplaceSubstring is used
  by other users. Changing the behavior would break
  their rules. We need to introduce a new function or
  a specific argument for replace substring. This
  cannot be done in actual releases as it requires a
  full new functionnal development. We invite you to
  follow Enhancement Request process to participate
  to this development definition.
  .
  Answer and By-Pass:
  Iterate until the string returned is the same as the
  string in ouput.
  .
