            I found a couple of working scripts on my AIX box that used tr command.

            What I noticed is that tr appears to use octal numbers instead of hex or deciamal.

            Since hex A6 is octal 246, I got this to work using tr for my test.

            Code:

            cat myFile | tr ‘246’ “|”

              Russ, you’re a lifesaver. I wasn’t using the octal value when I used tr. That works.
