Is there any way to do a bitwise or operation on strings in Ada 83? 

For example =>

clean_String := "AAA";
template     := "LLL";

result := clean_string or template;

Then result would equal "MMM".

I know that or will give you a set, so the real result would equal "AL".  
I am more interested in the bitwise or, not the or that is provided with Ada.

Thanks for your help.
