Need DBCS help


Hi everybody.
Sorry for the wordy explanation but it is the only way I know how to convey
the problem. I have a field that is being filled by our ERP package that is
in DBCS (Chinese). The problem is one field is 20 but another field they are
putting the same data in is 15 (short of like a short desc of the first
field).
So when they fill the field with DBCS data if it is larger than the 15 then
I think it is losing the SHIFT-IN hex value. Our ERP vendor is working on
this, but I have a lot of data that is bad at the moment.
I want to write a cleanup to go into the file and fix the fields. If you try
and DFU the field it looks like garbage data in the field. I dont have much
experience with HEX, but what I have learned is this should work but it
doesnt.
EVAL CDESC=%trimr(CDESC)+x'0F'
I have a program that I wrote that has screen that will show both fields if
I copy and paste it manually into the new field it works. Any ideas?
Thanks
Jeff Williams
