Gauri,

you need to create a named constant that contains all the invalid 
characters, and one that contains as many blanks; for instance:

     d garbage         c                   '%µ£ù=+-_^'
     d blanks          c                   '         '

        /free
                Field = %xlate(garbage:blanks:Field);
        /end-free

Hope this helps.

XLATE might work in case if I know what exactly the <garbage> is. So that
BLANKS can be replaced with those invalid characters.
Is there any way to define garbage as well ?
Please let me know ..
