Presuming that you're doing a DSPSPLF/WRKOUTQ/WRKSPLF sort of thing, that's
generally caused by trying to display data below hex value 40 (space).  It
could be that your report is putting some printer control codes into the
datastream, or that there's odd data in your database.

The underscore represents one of your "blocks"  In this case, it means that
the "member" field of my file contains bad data.
