Re: Invalid screen characters

Chris,

Use the CrtTbl command to create a table. ( prompt the help on CrtTbl to see
how to format the source for the table ).
In the source of the table, translate everything above x'40' to the same
value. All below x'40' should be replaced with x'1F'.
Use the QDCXLATE api to translate your display data to displayable data.
