Folks,

How can I execute a change command with my editor with HEX ON?

Some non-visible chars need to be changed and I need to locate and changing them according to their hex values.

The same way as you do when HEX is off. Why do you think it should be different?

Or, more helpfully, just:

HEX ON
C x'xx' x'yy'

where xx = 00 - FF and yy= 00 - FF

or if you want to change them manually:
HEX ON
f x'xx'
then edit the data at that point

If you look at help you will find the many ways of finding and changing strings including specifying them as hex strings.

you can also do a repeated FIND P'.' which will look for the non-display types and the short message displayed at the top of the screen will display the hex value that is found. then you can CHG ALL X'??' X'40' (or what ever)

if all non-displayed are to be changed to spaces, then CHG ALL P'.' ' '
