I tried variations of this but not with much success..

-SET &myHEX = HEXBYT(9,'A1');

TABLE FILE BLUB
PRINT
FIELD_ONE
WHERE FIELD_ONE CONTAINS '&myHEX';
END

Is there a way to find/replace decimal characters 0-31?

TIA

Thx JG! unfortunately it is not returing any lines when I use decimals from 0-31.
The documentation in WF shows an ASCII set with this descr.

This chart shows the primary printable characters in the ASCII and EBCDIC character sets and their decimal equivalents. Extended ASCII codes (above 127) are not included.

I dont know if these codes arent just included or not supported at all in the Id like to use it.

HEXBYT supports from 0 to 255.

Are you sure that there is a TAB character in the field ?

You can check the HEX codes of the field with the function UFMT.

DEFINE FILE CAR
 TABCOUNTRY/A10 = CTRAN(10,COUNTRY,78,9,'A10') ;
 HEXCOUNTRY/A20 = UFMT(TABCOUNTRY,10,HEXCOUNTRY) ;
END
TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT TABCOUNTRY
      HEXCOUNTRY
WHERE TABCOUNTRY CONTAINS HEXBYT(9,'A1') 
END

OK thx WaZ & JG

choosing the right field helps a lot :-)
