RE: translate function & hex data

["Pawson, David" <DPawson@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

 David Carlisle, repeating my similar question some time back.
I'll add it to the faq .

Like the earlier questionner, I 'wanted' this for non

If I remember, the follow up went something like,
put in a 'dummy' valid XML character, then post process
to change  it to a 'disallowed' character.

Regards, DaveP
