Re: CLLE program turn a number into a HEX character value...

In the ILE RPG Programmers Manual search for CVTTOHEX. RPG code that
does the same thing.

I've not heard of a CVTHEX CL command. That must be something unique to
your shop?

But, you say your code works, so I don't understand what else you'd like
to discuss about it? I could offer the cvthc routine as an
alternative, but I'm not sure that I'd call it "better."

I want the number 201 to wind up as "C9"

This "works":

DCL VAR(&VALUEIN) TYPE(*DEC) LEN(3 0) VALUE(201)
DCL VAR(&HEXVALUE) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(2)
DCL VAR(&HEXVALUE2) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(256)
DCL VAR(&HEXVALUE3) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(2)
DCL VAR(&HEXPOS) TYPE(*dec) LEN(3 0)

CHGVAR VAR(%bin(&HEXVALUE)) VALUE(&VALUEIN)
CVTHEX VALUE(&HEXVALUE) LEN(2) TYPE(B) +
EX(&HEXVALUE2) HEXPOS(&HEXPOS)
CHGVAR VAR(&HEXVALUE3) VALUE(%sst(&HEXVALUE2 3 2))


But I am sure there is a better way (Late Friday afternoon brain lock).
