Re: Converting an into to hex to char

I too find them confusing - the H member for cvtch has this declaration -

void cvtch ( _SPCPTR, /* Receiver 4-bit hex */
_SPCPTRCN, /* Source 8-bit character@A0C*/
int ); /* Length in bytes of source */

Ah, OK - the thing I sent Gary was to make an 8-byte value out of 16-character hex representation - Oy OY Oy!

Sorry, Gary, to add to the confusion!

About cvthc() and cvtch(), the length parameters for both functions
represent the length of the longer "character" value.

So for converting from x'1234' to '1234', you would pass 4 as the length
value to cvthc.

And for converting from '1234' to x'1234', you would pass 4 as the
length value to cvtch.

(I find these two functions to be monumentally confusing.)
