I have a program and I want to change all the characters from column 1 to 8 to spaces. And this should be achieved in one single command. How can I do this?

Try this: CHANGE ALL P'?' ' ' 1 8

If you don't have a "?" on your keyboard, you can also use this:

CHANGE ALL P'=' ' ' 1 8

Slightly different but gives the same result.
