Turn the last one into -replace a=b if _n==_N- and it will work... See the
examples in - h generate-

Subject: st: funny behaviour of _N
Hello everyone,
Please compare the following 2 code snippets : -
1.
local num=_N
replace a=b in `num'
2.
replace a=b in _N
Surprisingly only the 1st one works ! Could some one tell me why ?
Thank you,
Ashim
