Re: %Scan and %Replace Multiple Hex Values

[Scott Klement <rpg400-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Mike,

This is off the top of my head, and untested:

pos = %scan(x'0d25': string);
dow pos > 0;
   string = %replace(' ': string: pos: 2);
   pos = %scan(x'0d25': string: pos);
enddo;

It replaces x'0d25' with a single space.  (The %XLATE option replaces 
x'0d' with a space, and x'25' with a space, resulting in two blanks.)

Having said that -- I would suggest that this is probably the wrong 
approach. x'0d25' usually symbolizes a "line break" -- so you don't 
generally WANT to replace it with blanks.  Instead, you want to use it 
as a delimiter to tell you that you've reached the end of one line, and 
it's time to start another one.
