Try the hex() SQL function with VALUES INTO

Good point.  Do you have a simple routine to convert a field to it's hex
value?  Be nice if RPGLE had a
MyChar=%hex(%trim(MyUuid));

Or convert them to hex representation... probably safer and easier to
understand.

Subject: Using a UUID to name an IFS file

Are the weird hex codes, generated by using a UUID, going to come back to
haunt me if I use UUID's to name my IFS files?
> EVAL UUID
  UUID = 'lnõn. Ðä'
> EVAL UUID :X
     00000     93952803 1D2518CF 954B0004 AC08432B   - ln.....õn...Ð.ä.

Would prefixing them be "a good idea"?  Like prefix them with "UUID" so
that I can do a RMVLNK '/tmp/UUID*.txt'?
