5? There are only 3 spaces in that string. What am I missing? (I
replicated that here as well.)

Hi Birgitta
I like your idea, to use TRANSLATE. If he uses this, I think he should add
control characters, as well, he is trying to replace X'0D'.
Casting, in my opinion, is not needed - both Glenn Gunderman and I used what
was presented and had no problem. As a first attempt I ran this statement in
RSS -
values locate(x'40', 'This has a space')
The result was 5.
