Subj:   Re: Unprintable characters
 
From:   Geoffrey Rommel

  How would I test for unprintable characters in a name column?  



Here's another idea, Karen. If you are sure that every character you're looking for is a tab, and the name column is defined as LATIN, you can use this:

where name_col like '250925'xc /* %, tab, % */


Unicode would require this:

where name_col like '002500090025'xc /* %, tab, % */


If you want to find any unprintable character, try this:

where substr(name_col, 1,1) < ' '
  or substr(name_col, 2,1) < ' '
  or substr(name_col, 3,1) < ' ' ... etc.
