Depends on which special charactersIf you mean accented letters, I use a
subroutine that converts the accented
high ASCII code to it's non-accented letter. (EX. e' to e).
Basically, it's just a bunch of converts. But it's good for converting data
that was entered via a website text
I know I'm not answering the original question Is there a tool ,
but if the validation is on-line, it would be best to manage a list of
valid characters, rather than do converts of specific characters.
Bearing in mind that users can copy-paste into your input field, or type
Alt+nnn you can
I've used the OCONV to remove non-printable (control) characters;
actually it doesn't remove them just replaces with a period .

Something we used on our old ERP system was to define all valid characters, and
use this against a copy of the input string to remove all valid characters,
then use the remaining string (if anything remains...it's not valid) against
the original input string.

I think I have seen where user submitted csv files have been good
until one of our team opened it for further processing in Excel, and
autocorrect took over and turned cafe and other words into alternate
spellings.
If you have a similar workflow, make sure the team members doing this
I think that's clippy's revenge!

I don't know of an existing tool, probably because it depends on what
you consider a 'special' character. Are line feeds and carriage returns
OK? How about tab?
If you only want 'printable' characters then loop through each character
in the file:
IF SEQ(CHARACTER) 31 AND SEQ(CHARACTER)
Heres a couple of subs i use to uri encode - but you can easily change them
to do whatever you want with certain characters
001:SUBROUTINE URIENCODE(url)
002: * Sub to uri encode a url
003:
004:max=LEN(url)
005:newurl=''
006:
007:FOR i = 1 TO max

Richard,
We have a customer reporting the error below running UV 11.1 on Itanium
11.31.
So far it has been an isolated incident ( 2 times) . This error on Unidata

Indicates you need to increase SHM_GPAGESZ. However in this case it occurred
when a user was simply trying to
Login
I would suggest this
IF String # Oconv(String,MCP) then
End
This will quite quickly tell you *whether* any given string has a
non-printable char in it.
It is the fastest known method to give you this Boolean result.
Then use the INDEX function to return the absolute location of any .
Which characters does it consider invalid? Just 32 and 128?
I use the following: (It's missing a few accents, I need to update it when I
find some time)
I think I'll add Will's piece to the end to see if I missed any however.

Bill,
It looks like it's trying to write out maryann's command stack.
SAVEDLISTS is apparently setup as a Type 1 file, and since maryann's stack
key is longer, it's trying to create a sub-directory and write into it. It
looks like maryann doesn't have appropriate prviileges to create the
RL:
Thanks for writing.
ed VOC STACKWRITE
0001: X
0002: ON
S.maryann.13 was found to be a file. I just renamed it to .13.BAK. Now
MaryAnn's logout is clean.
I want to keep the STACKWRITE setting intact since I use it and my boss uses it.
Let's call this a victory.

Hi All,
I have a question about having the printer-font size switch to condensed
when a SB+ report is sent to a laser printer (HP LaserJet) that is wider
than 80 characters. I know that there is a SB+ user group but I cannot log
into that from work and this is a work question. I was hoping that
I'm unsure on how I should structure the logic flow when opening a server
socket (UV 10.0.16 HP-UX 11i).
At present I start with initServerSocket in the setup phase of the program, and
then wait on acceptConnection. If there's an incoming connection I do
readSocket; after the data is read I do
16 matches
