The ASCII codes are:
x'BC', x'BD', x'BE' or for "¼", "½", "¾" respectively.
188-190 Decimal.
The EBCDIC are:
x'B7', x'B8', x'B9', "¼", "½", "¾" respectively.
183-185 Decimal.

Use the Hex equivalent and the SCAN opcode.
X'xy'    SCAN   XMLDATA    POS

Not sure what the hex code is for those characters, sorry.

Subject: Searching for "½" and "¼" characters in a string

Hello All,

Is there a way to search for "½" and "¼" characters in a string using RPG or

CL?
I need to convert these special characters so that the XML parser can 
understand.

How can I create a search string in RPG or CL to contain "½" OR "¼" 
characters?

Thanks in advance.
