huh, never had that issue... maybe a spf macro (not my area of expertise) using edit command: f p'.' or c p'.' ' ' all is there only 1 character or multiple characters that your print function can't handle? don't have the rexx manual handy, but there are hex conversion functions the could be used to translate and then see if results are dissimilar. or maybe the INDEX/POS or TRANSLATE function searching for x' value?
its a holiday here in the US, celebrating civil rights, equitable justice and Christian values today.
