I'm using fp 5.0.13 on OSR 5.0.6.

I'm creating some sel files on the fly and one of the fields that I need 
to use has a ":" in the field, How can I change that ":" to a "^A" ?


Example :

QUOTE=`cat $FILE2 | grep ADDRFQ | cut -f2 -d~`

(this sets QUOTE as  056455:246544)

echo " " > /usr2/appl/filepro/addrfq/sel.received
echo :2::$QUOTE >> /usr2/appl/filepro/addrfq/sel.received

(this creates the sel file , but doesn't puts the ":")

Group   Field  Heading                 Rel    Value

        .  2  . DocumentId                 .   R-056455

how can I make it put the remaining :246544, the same as ^A246544 if 
looked at it using vi ?

Thanks
