I think I just answered my own question.  It appears in
mixed strings of SBCS and DBCS the shift in and out DBCS
delimiters X'0E' and X'0F'

Not sure why I didn't see them before.

Well, that makes my replace procedure much more fun.  :)  I
assume I just have to first find these two delimiters
anywhere in the string, and when scanning for replacement
characters ignore anything in between these two values
anywhere in the string...

A fairly easy way to handle this is to do the processing in ucs2.  (At
least, it's easy, if your string doesn't have more than 16383 total
characters, since that's the maximum number of UCS2 characters that RPG
supports.)

D lparen     c              %ucs2('(')
D rparen     c              %ucs2(')')
D apos       c              %ucs2('''')
D string     s      16383c  varying
   string = %ucs2(charstring);
   --- use all the same code as you had before 
   ---   p = %scan(lparen : string);  etc
   charstring = %char(string);
