I am trying to inspect for a character "#" and the replace it with a " (double quote) on a windows system.
The system does no seem to support single quotes or hex.
I used "#" as a simple place holder that I wanted to replace with a double quote.
Does anybody know how to do this?

DISPLAY "HEX VALUE: " WS-HEX-VALUE.

HEX VALUE: A
