Followup to: %char?? what am I doing wrong?? I'm on V4R4!!

Thanks, I used %editc and it worked similar to what I expected from
%char.

But, based on the docs and your responses, it should have worked to
begin with???

=============== original message  =====================

I'm trying to use the BIF %char, I'm getting an error.  I'm doing
something wrong, but what?
