RE: Scanning for Carriage Return Character

I just found that using an online converter.
Yes... they eyes are easily tricked... I'm just glad no one could hear what came from my mouth when I found it.

THANKS buck!

The hex values do not contain x'0D' - they have x'25'.
The eye is easily tricked when looking at a long string of hex...
For example: 26B40D181
Is it 26 B4 0D 18, or is it 6B 40 D1 81?

I have a string of text in a database field that was a result of CPYFRMIMPF.

I know the string contains x'0D' (CR) several places... I can see it in debug when I place that field into a data structure subfield (SQL Select Into).

I'm trying to use %SCANRPL to replace the CR with a pipe character... it simply doesn't do it. What the heck am I doing wrong?

dcl-c PIPE const('|');
dcl-c CR const(x'0D');

rp(x).note = %scanrpl(CR:PIPE:rp(x).note);



In debug, the value of my character field looks like this (literally):

Dear Michelle and Dillon,
Sending heartfelt congratulations to you both on your wedding with wishes for health and happiness in your marriage.
All our best,
Jessica, Chris, Jake, Eryn and Cate Brown

If I change the representation to HEX, it looks like this:
