OK. I thought maybe there was something else.

Though I cannot recall a good example I have often used this code -- except I formatted it to be more readable and minus "LOOP". When doing mass data updates where many fields are the result of fairly involved concatenation, trimming, calculation, etc., I think it is reasonable to use this code for readability, maintainability and to precisely manage the value being replaced. I am also reluctant to make hugely long REPLACE statements.
