Removing a newline character from a VARCHAR

Hello,

I've discovered that I have some strings in a database (in VARCHAR
columns) which contain newline characters. This is very confusing, so I
would like to update the column and remove newlines from the strings.
However, I could use a hint regarding which string function(s) to make use
of. It would be nice of the function(s) works in DB2 LUW v. 8.2.

I would look at TRANSLATE and the CHR function
Cheers
