Re: [EXTERNAL] Re: Remove unprintable chars

I must be missing something, are you suggesting that 64 %scanrpl operations
(to cover x'00' - x'39') over this string is faster than one loop over the
same input string looking for < ' ' (x'40') and replacing them with
blanks?

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 ;
