Re: scanning for a hex value in RPGIV

Shannon,

Is this an ASCII/EBCDIC translation issue?

>From within an RPGIV program...I am reading a db file which contains HTML
source code. I want to scan each record, searching for specific characters.

For example, if I insert the paragraph symbol in the HTML, I want to scan
the HTML source and see if it contains the paragraph symbol.

Here's a sample record. Note the paragraph symbol:

 <p class=MsoNormal>This is a para mark ¶ and I m putting it right here.</p>

In my RPG program I am using the SCAN  (tried the %SCAN BIF too) opcode to
scan for a hex value of x'b6'...which is the para symbol.
However, the SCAN fails to find a match.

Anyone have an idea of why the SCAN is failing?

Thanks,
