Terry, create a string of allowed chars then use CHRTRAN() to remove them from the source string which results in all disallowed chars. Then pass this again using CHRTRAN() to the original string to remove them:

cOrgString = "whatever text with some control chars"
cAllowedChars = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789"

cCleanString = CHRTRAN( cOrgString, CHRTRAN( cOrgString, cAllowedChars, "" ), "" )
