substitution of characters

[Robert J.M. Edis]

G'day Johan

What do you need to convert the characters for?  If it is a one time
process, you could change the substitute character in the dictionary to a
space and the use the SUBSTITUTE() function.  The default character is "^".

Hello,

Is the following possible in powerhouse (quick,quiz) :

I have an item (for example char*25) that contains "THIS IS A TEST

 " and I want
to convert the spaces to underscores so that the item contains 
"THIS_IS_A_TEST___________"

Any suggestions ?
