However, I believe I have found another way - not pretty but it seems to work
Even though my coding of
ConvSecretSharedKey = %trim(HldConvSecretSharedKey) + *allx'00';
Did not compile, I can code the following
Nullfield = *allx'00';
Where Nullfield is defined as
d Nullfield s 1000a
And now my coding is
ConvSecretSharedKey = %trim(HldConvSecretSharedKey) + Nullfield;
And
ConvdataToHash = %trim(HldConvdataToHash) + Nullfield:
IMO the compiler is unnecessarily picky about using those special
values in expressions.
The way I would code something like this is:
targetfield = *loval ;
targetfield = %trimr(sourcefield) + targetfield ;
This way the code continues to work even if the size of targetfield is
increased.
