• When the subject field is a figurative constant, the single-character substitution field (which must be 1 character in length) replaces each character in the inspected item equivalent to the figurative constant.

• When the substitution field is a figurative constant, the substitution field replaces each non-overlapping occurrence of the subject field in the inspected item.

• When the subject and substitution fields are character-strings, the character-string specified in the substitution field replaces each non-overlapping occurrence of the subject field in the inspected item.

• After replacement has occurred in a given character position in the inspected item, no further replacement for that character position is made in this execution of the INSPECT statement.
