Look up the block_fill( ) command in the macro language manual. It
gives you many options.

There are several ways ways. First:

1. Go to the beginning of the columnar block.
2. to perform a search and replace.
The "[x] Block" option should be set.
3. For the Search string enter "|?" to match any character.
4. For the Replace string enter the desired character.

Another way:

1. Select {CONFIG, Tab/Fill} and set the "Block Fill character"
to the desired value. You have to enter it in decimal.
Then press [Close].
2. Select {BLOCK, Fill block}.

Or, as Fritz mentioned:

1. Look up the macro language Block_Fill() command.
