ASCII character in a string

Hi there, I use Informix OL 7.24 and I want to insert an ASCII character in a string. For example : define v_str char(50); let vs_str = "Hello \\012 \\0x7D"; In this example who looks like C syntax, I want to insert the octal character 12 and the hexadecimal character 7D. Does anybody knows how to do that ? Any idea or workaround are more than welcome !
