Re: Formatted UUID from RPGLE

["Steve Richter" <stephenrichter@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Walden,

there is the cvthc proc which my notes say is found via qc2le.  The input
length arg should be set to twice the number of hex bytes being converted.

** ------------------------ CvtHc --------------------------------
** CvtHc - qc2le proc that converts bytes to hex external form.
d CvtHc           pr                  extproc('cvthc')
d OutChar                    32767a   options(*VarSize)
d InBytes                    32767a   const options(*VarSize)
d InBytesLx                     10i 0 value
