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?

I would personally take the opposite approach: SCANRPL each
non-printable chars with a blank for each string fields
