ldushkin,
huh? Do you want to modify the contents of figurative constant LOW-VALUE ? Low-value reprensts the lowest ordinal position in thecollating sequence used. For the EBCDIC collating sequence, the character is X'00'; for other collating sequences, the actual character used depends on the collating sequence used.
Why don't you show what you are trying to do with an example.

ldushkin,
what do you want to change that low-value ? spaces? or someother value ? If Spaces then try this
Code: |
INSPECT ws-field-to-be-modified REPLACING ALL X'00' BY X'40'
|
Hope this helps...
Cheers
