Hi John,

In the event that the two digits were 7 and 8, in a character string, the hex values (zoned) would be F7F8. Goal is to convert zoned to unsigned packed, so F7F8 converts to 78 not 4E.
I believe I messed up earlier in terminology.
The cvtch() example that I posted earlier should do this nicely.
H DFTACTGRP(*NO) BNDDIR('QC2LE')
D cvtch PR ExtProc('cvtch')
D target 32767A options(*varsize)
D src_chars 65534A options(*varsize) const
D src_length 10I 0 value
D InputData ds qualified
D zonedVal 2s 0
D result s 1a
/free
InputData.zonedVal = 78;
cvtch( result: inputData: %size(inputData) );
// result = x'78'.
If you need to handle numerics longer than 2 long (this seems likely)
you could simply make 'zonedVal' larger.
Barbara Morris's example will work as well (using an alternative method
of conversion) as well.
