Paul,
Sorry, disregard my previous email.
Thanks for the input. I tried your suggestion but the results were not positive. Maybe I should state the problem in a different way: How can I do something like this in java:
D $69 S 1A inz(x'69')
This a RPG declaration of a character variable $69, one byte long, initialized to x'69'.
When I write the "\u0001", I seem to be getting something that looks like the STX character X'01'.
Regards
Teresa
