What we are getting at: your choice of the C locale does not "work" with the file.
So, is the file from an external source like a vendor or is it corrupted?
Because if a line has 100 bytes of characters used in a given locale, the output of your sed will be 100 bytes of data, not 101. So something is going on with the data in the file.
This uses cat as UUOC to simplify the example. You know the fixed record length of your file. For this example assume it is 100.
This should produce the answer of zero, meaning all records are the same, correct size. Try it to make sure the file not corrupt. And we are not barking up the wrong tree.

In the HP Unix that i'm using when i initialise a string as Stalled="'30¬G'"
Stalled=$Stalled" '30¬C'", it is taking the character ¬ as a comma. I need to grep for 30¬G 30¬C in a file and take its count. But since this character ¬ is not being understood, the count returns a zero.

XPACode - Where to Find Example/Test Code
SYNOPSIS
The XPA source code directory contains two test programs, stest.c, and ctest.c that can serve as examples for writing XPA servers and
clients, respectively. They also can be used to test various features of XPA.
DESCRIPTION
To build the XPA test programs, execute:
make All
in the XPA source directory to generate the stest and ctest programs. (NB: this should work on all platforms, although we have had prob-
lems with unresolved externals on one Sun/Solaris machine, for reasons still unknown.)
The stest program can be executed with no arguments to start an XPA server that contains the access points: xpa, xpa1, c_xpa (containing
sub-commands cmd1 and cmd2), and i_xpa. You then can use xpaset and xpaget to interact with these access points:
cat xpa.c | xpaset xpa # send to xpa
cat xpa.c | xpaset "xpa*" # send to xpa and xpa1
xpaget xpa # receive from xpa
xpaget xpa* # receive from xpa and xpa1
etc. You also can use ctest to do the same thing, or to iterate:
ctest -s -l 100 xpa # send to xpa 100 times
ctest -s -l 100 "xpa*" # send to xpa and xpa1 100 times
ctest -g -l 100 xpa # receive from xpa 100 times
ctest -g -l 100 "xpa*" # receive from xpa and xpa1 100 times
More options are available: see the stest.c and ctest.c code itself, which were used extensively to debug XPA.
The file test.tcl in the XPA source directory gives examples for using the XPATclInterface.
