How about a simple %XLATE? One string has all 255 characters and the
other translates the characters you do not want to space.

Subject: Scrubbing Bad Hex Data from a String
Hello All,
We have a data string that is getting random bad data in it from an
inbound fax gateway product.
We need to scrub out any characters that fall outside of the a-Z, 0-9
range.
Is there a quick algorithm that comes to mind for anyone for doing this
?
I actually have a scan/replace routine in place. I just need something
that says: Does this char position contain a value outside of a-z, 0-9.
I'm sure it's simple, but my brain is aching this morning :-)
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Richard Schoen
