Replace Statement Summary

Replace is a nonterminal, refactoring statement that occurs only with a Refactor statement. It is used to replace components in an external library class or to replace language surface patterns in a language file.

The attributes of the Replace statement are as follows:

Attribute	Description
Id	This required attribute either contains the entry Patterns or it contains the identifier of an external library class. If the containing Refactor statement had a HostId specified then this identifier should be specified relative to it; else, it should be specified relative to the root of the symbol table.

The script errors associated with the Replace statement are as follows:

Error	Description
1099	Replace identifier [%1d] is not defined.
1100	Replace identifier [%1d] is not a class.

If patterns are being read, then the substatements of the Replace are the same as those of the Patterns statement and are processed in the same manner except that existing patterns are replaced rather than new patterns being defined. See the Patterns page for details.

If a library class is identified, then the substatements of the Replace are the same as those of the Class statement and are processed in the same manner except that existing declarations are replaced rather than new declarations being defined. See the Class page for details.
