CLIST question

A friend has a project to make a screen in CLIST, he is doing a good job. This screen is to enter claims data, he uses underscores to let users see where the data fields begin and end and they overtype the underscore as they enter. Does anyone know how to NOT bring in those underscores into his output Cobol record? I think there must be a clist command. If not a nice removal in Cobol would be great we could just run an extra job step and clean up his data.

If you cannot figure out how to remove the underscores in CLIST, it is easy enough to do it in COBOL:
