RE: looking for sample code

If speed is not a big concern, below should work (will need to test it).

   COLUMN1 = rmvNonAlpha(COLUMN1);
   COLUMN2 = rmvNonAlpha(COLUMN2);

P rmvNonAlpha     B

Subject: looking for sample code

Iam looking for sample code in free format style RPG or normal one.
I have a non keyed PF, I have to read two particular columns of it and I
ve to make sure that only characters from A to Z are allowed(case doesnt
matter) and any unwanted stuff need to be removed from those two
columns.
  If possible please help with your posts.

Donna.
