Surely that is 'C C'. Why would you see x'34'? RPG, as an
example, is only going to see C3, 40, 40, C3 as you look at
each character in the string...

If I had :

C34040C3

How do I detect that I have C3 40 40 C3 and there's no 34 in there?

The characters are < x'40' (blank). You'll have to scan through the
string and replace anything < x'40' with x'40'..

Thanks,

Sorry if I wasn't clear : we don't want user pasting this kind of
thing but presumably we can't prevent it unless it can be

detected. We

have only discovered the characters when the contents of

the PF were

written out to XML files. This caused an error in the application
treating the XML.

Word (and other programs) can contain formatting information in
addition to the actual text: bold, font change, font size

change, etc.

I've found it easiest to copy the text from Word into Notepad or
UltraEdit (I use this), then copy that resulting text

into 5250. UE

and Notepad only recognize the textual data, and ignore

formatting

characteristics.

Subject: Non displayable characters in a PF

Hi,

Hope this isn't too vague a question :

Users are copying and pasting into a green screen

application from MS

Word and the results are saved in a PF. The user entry

program does

not display these characters and so the user doesn't

realise. DSPPFM

shows the characters in inverse video. It's not possible

to modify

afterwards with DFU.

What is missing to prevent the pasting of these unwanted

characters?

Why doesn't the data entry screen show them but DSPPFM does?

Thanks.
