I have some text that I converted to ascii to see what character codes were in it so I could replace them

the text is

April 9th Program materials


the Ascii code converts to this
65 112 114 105 108 32 57 116 104 32 80 114 111 103 114 97 109 32 109 97 116 101 114 105 97 108 115 2 1

when I try m.des1=STRTRAN(description,CHR(2)+CHR(1),'') it does not replace the characters
with a space.

I need this and other information to be on one line.
any suggestions?
