Hi Al,
Certainly, you can use the $BASICTYPE compiler directive to assert a
BASICTYPE U within your compilation, it's documented at
http://publibfi.boulder.ibm.com/epubs/pdf/9163.pdf...

Al,
This works on universe:
TEXT = CHANGE(TEXT, @SM:@SM, @VM:@VM)
TEXT = CONVERT(@SM, , TEXT)
TEXT = FMTS(TEXT, 50T)
TEXT = CONVERT(@VM:@TM, @SM:@SM, TEXT)

The use of the callable routine !FOLD was suggested a day or two ago. It is
very affective in that it naturally breaks on space. If you use the remove
to display the folded text it save a great deal of coding.

You're going to have a problem with the 'blank' line. If you convert the
@SMs to spaces, then it will wrap the rest of the lines up and won't
preserve the line break. You're probably going to need to do some coding
something like this:
* Assuming TEXT contains the current text delimited by @SM
Goo'day,
I'll include asnippet of ours that works a treat in situations like this:
*
THIS.DESC = FMT(TRIM(THIS.DESC),27T)
THIS.DESC = CHANGE(THIS.DESC,@TM,@VM)
*
X = DCOUNT(THIS.DESC,@VM)
FOR I = 1 TO X
PRINT ON 1 THIS.DESC1,1'L#27'
Consider Socratic Programming... that is, break the problem down into
elemental pieces.
Please consider broadcasting a few lines of the bug-laden code.

Assuming you have your sample data in a single variable, you can try
something like this:
MYDATA = @RECORDX,Y
MYDATA = CHANGE(MYDATA,@SVM:@SVM,@VM)
MYDATA = CHANGE(MYDATA,@SVM, )
MYDATA = CHANGE(MYDATA,. ,. )
MYDATA = CHANGE(MYDATA,. ,. )
VM.CNT = DCOUNT(MYDATA,@VM)
NEW.DATA = ''
VM = ''

flavor is up to the task, but I'm open to
any ideas.
