Re: Using SQL, replace all characters less than x'40' in a string with blank

values HEX(translate(X'C1C2C3C401023940C1', ' ',
x'0102030405060708090A0B0C0D0E0F101112131415161718191A1B1C1D1E1F202122232425262728292A2B2C2D2E2F303132333435363738393A3B3C3D3E3F'))
;

The above can be pasted into Run SQL Scripts to test.
x'C1C2C3C401023940C1' is ABCDx'01023940'A.
In a production environment you might try
select
translate(X'C1C2C3C401023940C1', ' ',
x'0102030405060708090A0B0C0D0E0F101112131415161718191A1B1C1D1E1F202122232425262728292A2B2C2D2E2F303132333435363738393A3B3C3D3E3F')),

... other desired columns...
from ...
;
When I ran the test statement it returned
C1C2C3C440404040C1
