[SOLVED] Checking for non-english comments

I have a modify procedure that allows users to enter comments, in both Chinese and English. I need to make sure that the english comments contain no Chinese characters.

I have this validate in the procedure:

-* check for shift-in
WD01_V/A68 = UFMT(XDESCRIPT, 68, WD01_V);
SISO1/I3 = POSIT(WD01_V,68,'0E', 2, SISO1);

-* check for shift-out
WD01_V/A68 = UFMT(XDESCRIPT, 68, WD01_V);
SISO2/I3 = POSIT(WD01_V,68,'0F', 2, SISO2);

When I type english characters (E LINE 1), it translates to hex:
C540D3C9D5C540F14040404040404040404040404040404040404040404040404040

Within in this HEX character string the POSIT sub-routine finds the characters '0F', however this in not really the "shift-out" representation, it's just part of the string because of the line I typed (E LINE 1).

I could check each individual character, however I wanted to know if there is a better way to do this?

Would the PATTERN function help?

FYI, the issue is resolved: I created a routine to extract each byte from the comment and then converted that byte to Hexadecimal using the UFMT sub-routine. I then checked for the shift-in/shift out characters (0E and 0F).

Thanks gjk for sharing the info with all.

Cheers,

Kerry
