Comments:

If any of the arguments are stored as a numeric type, MFG converts them to a temporary text form before performing the matching process.

Examples:

&SUBST-ALL ("ABCDEFABCDEF", "ABC", "xyz") = "xyzDEFxyzDEF"
&SUBST-ALL ("ABCDEFABC", "ABC", "uvwxyz") = 
% ... "uvwxyzDEFuvwxyzDEF"
&SUBST-ALL ("ABCDEFABCDEF", "ABC", "xyz") = "xyzDEFxyz"
&SUBST-ALL ("ABCDEFABCDEF", "ABC", "")    = "DEFDEF"
&SUBST-ALL ("ABCDEFABCDEF", "", "XYZ")    = "ABCDEFABCDEF"
