Re: Convert Binary to Decimal

Are you saying you have a character string that contains the hexadecimal representation of the binary value? I would use cvthc or cvtch - I forget which is which - to convert to an integer variable. It's rather simple. Might need some padding with zeroes and all - depends on what your source really is.

But I'm not sure what is what in your question - sorry!! :-)

I thought I knew, but maybe I don't. I have a character string that at a
certain point contains a binary value...like x'08'. I need to convert that
to decimal. I want a variable to have the value 8. I was playing around with
a DS and overlaying an alpha and binary field, but it doesn't seem very
flexible. What's a non-SQL way of doing this in ILE. Thanks.
