I think it is losing the SHIFT-IN hex value. Our ERP vendor is working on
this, but I have a lot of data that is bad at the moment.
I want to write a cleanup to go into the file and fix the fields. If you try
and DFU the field it looks like garbage data in the field. I dont have much
experience with HEX, but what I have learned is this should work but it
doesnt.
EVAL CDESC=%trimr(CDESC)+x'0F'
I have a program that I wrote that has screen that will show both fields if
I copy and paste it manually into the new field it works. Any ideas?

What you really need to do is count the shift out/shift in pairs ... if you have a shift out without a shift in, you need to add the shift in.

Keep in mind that anytime the text switches to or from double byte a shift is needed.
