[open-cobol-list] truncating line feed character.

[john Culleton]

Given a field that contains a variable number of
characters and a line feed character how do I
replace the line feed character with a space?

I can do:

INSPECT FIELDNAME REPLACING ALL "XXX" WITH SPACE 

but what do I put in XXX? I know that the line
feed is x0a in binary.

Linux system of course.
