Searching character items for escape (non-printable) characters

I'm currently running QUIZ v6.09 (soon to be upgraded) and we are
currently converting our order entry system. As part of the conversion
process, we are building ascii files of various datasets. One problem
that I'm running into, is the presence of escape characters (or
non-printable) characters within character fields. 

What function can I use to check for the presence of such characters?
Perhaps the CHARACTERS() function? Thanks in advance.
