He wants to go from the 16-byte value to a 32-byte representation - that is what CVTHC is for - that's where the naming gets screwy for me - but it means hex digits (H) to character representation (C).

For instance I have a 16 byte character field with binary data and I
want to turn it into a 32 byte character field that is the hex
representation of the field.


Documentation on CVTHC says "The cvthc function takes each hexadecimal digit (4- bit value) of source and converts
it to a character digit (8-bit value) and places into receiver."

This results in 2 characters in the output for each byte of the input. That's what he asked for.

Vern,

Read his email again. My interpretation is otherwise. But, from what we both posted he should be able to figure it out.
