Mike,

This is off the top of my head, and untested:

pos = %scan(x'0d25': string);
dow pos > 0;
string = %replace(' ': string: pos: 2);
pos = %scan(x'0d25': string: pos);
enddo;

It replaces x'0d25' with a single space. (The %XLATE option replaces x'0d' with a space, and x'25' with a space, resulting in two blanks.)

Having said that -- I would suggest that this is probably the wrong approach. x'0d25' usually symbolizes a "line break" -- so you don't generally WANT to replace it with blanks. Instead, you want to use it as a delimiter to tell you that you've reached the end of one line, and it's time to start another one.

We have a string that comes in from the web and within there is the hex
value '0D25' for a new line. I want to replace all instances of this hex
value with a space when I am displaying it on the green screen. How do I do
this?
