RE: Query to identify EBCDIC Printable characters

Not sure how you are going to inspect each character position
of each field.

But the following works for a single character field:

SELECT * FROM somlib/afile
WHERE onechar < (X'40')
OR onechar > (X'FE')

Subject: Query to identify EBCDIC Printable characters

Hi,

I want to use Query or SEQUEL (cannot run SQL on production box), to identify any records in a file, that have fields with non-printable characters.

Without having to define every printable character I see in the EBCDIC table in my query, what would be the best way to do this?

Thanks
Vinay
