Thank you Barbara,
Is there some short cut to creating the non-print characters constant, by my calculations the string based on your start there would be about 320 characters long.
Thanks & Regards,

If you want to replace them all with the same character, use %XLATE.
If you want to remove them, then first use %XLATE to change all the non-print characters to one of the non-print characters, and then use %SCANRPL to remove them.
dcl-c nonprint_chars x'00010203...';
dcl-s all_same_nonprint_char char(%size(nonprint_chars))
inz(*allx'01');
dcl-c one_nonprint_char x'01';
string = %XLATE(nonprint_chars : all_same_non_print_char : string);
string = %SCANRPL (one_nonprint_char : '' : string);
