But the user doesn't know what bytes below x'40' are present, just that
x'12' is currently being encountered.

Subject: 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 string is 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
