Converting a return to a blank space

Question:
I am using SQL+ through COBOL to include a 250 char notes field on a report. If the user has entered a return character in the field (Hex 0A), can I use Translate or Convert to convert this return character into a space when selecting this notes field?

Answer:
You can search for char(10)+char(13) and make it a CHAR(32).
