Hi!

I have a file that is internally described as a long string field in my
program. I know that for example the chars at position 110-111 must be
considered as a packed field (3P 0). I want to extract the 2 chars in a
temporary string of my program, using %subst(rcd:110:2) but when I do that,
the %subst operation converts all non-displayable hexadecimal chars to
blanks...

How can I extract these chars with no conversion? I tried to loop to extract
char by char but the result is the same... Non-displayable chars are
converted to blank...

Thanks in advance for your answers
Charles
