It is possible by using $replace function: some string to a different string
you define your fractional codes and run them in iterative loops
USER>read txt
¼ test character and ½ test character and ¾ test character and
USER>s a14=$c(188)
USER>s a12=$c(189)
USER>s a34=$c(190)
USER>s a17=$c(8528)
USER>write $replace($replace(txt,a14,"1/4"),a12,"1/2")
1/4 test character and 1/2 test character and ¾ test character and
USER>Attention:
Some codes are wide characters: this makes the replacement tricky
example. 1/7 >> $c(8528) !!
