This solution will be very slooow especially if the strings are huge and if there are more than one to xlate
And, this solution only works with one string: no parm on the proc. In that case, might as well put the code inline
I would personally take the opposite approach: SCANRPL each non-printable chars with a blank for each string fields

This rang a bell with me
This is what I created
dcl-s Ix packed(7:0);
dcl-s Lengthoffield packed(7:0);
dcl-ds Rplcbadchards;
Completestring char(1000);
Completestringind char(1) dim(1000) pos(1);
end-ds;
Completestring = ChTxt;
Replacebadchar();
Chtxt = Completestring;
dcl-proc Replacebadchar ;
Ix = 1;
Lengthoffield = %len(%trimr(Completestring));
dou Ix > Lengthoffield;
if Completestringind(Ix) < ' ';
Completestringind(Ix) = ' ';
endif;
Ix += 1;
enddo;
end-proc ;
