RE: scanning for a hex value in RPGIV

Shannon,

Tried your code, and it seems to work...

Maybe try STRDBG, and examine the contents of "SchStg", for the record in
question...

| It's only one line of code in question, but I'll post it here
| along with the
| comparison string:
|
| D para              S           1a       Inz(x'B6')
| D SchStg          S       200a
|  .
|  .
|  .
| C                     Eval   R = %Scan(para:SchStg)
|
| You can insert the text from the original post into the SchStg
| variable for
| an example of what the text itself looks like.
|
| Thanks
|
