The info center says: "REPLICATE is a string manipulation function that manipulates all data types (BIT, BLOB, and CHARACTER) and returns a string made up of multiple copies of a supplied string."
The REPLICATE function is not XML-specific and it does not operate on files. It operates on the logical message tree.
In other words, your question does not make a lot of sense. Maybe you can explain what you are trying to do, then we may be able to help. |

Also, in Broker, there's no such thing as a file.
There are nodes that read and write files, but they are not files before written and they are not files after being read.
So it does not make sense to talk about XML files in Broker.
Everything is a message. |

REPLICATE function
REPLICATE is a string manipulation function that manipulates all data types (BIT, BLOB, and CHARACTER) and returns a string made up of multiple copies of a supplied string.
Syntax
Read syntax diagramSkip visual syntax diagram
>>-REPLICATE--(--PatternStringExpression--,--CountNumericExpression--)-><
REPLICATE returns a string consisting of the pattern string given by PatternStringExpression repeated the number of times given by CountNumericExpression.
The pattern string can be of the CHARACTER, BLOB, or BIT datatype and the count must be of type INTEGER. The result is of the same data type as the pattern string.
If the count is negative or zero, a zero length string is returned. If either parameter is NULL, the result is NULL.
The count is limited to 32*1024*1024 to protect the broker from erroneous programs. If this limit is exceeded, an exception condition is issued. |

This of course is simply the InfoCenter section which you could (and arguably should) read directly.

Why not try to create a simple example? It's a function with 2 parameters; work it out. If you have tried it, and are having trouble, why not post what you've done and what happens rather than jonesing for a working example you can try and compare to yours?
You could have finished an entire ESQL module in the time it's taken you you to post here and ask us to think for you.

We can't give you a simple example because you have not explained what you are trying to do.
Please explain what you are trying to do. |

| Code: |
DECLARE NM CHARACTER ;
SET NM = REPLICATE('*',6); |
This is nothing but we are assigning 6 – Stars to Variable NM
NM = * * * * * * |
