Re[2]: Passing Parms to an RPG Program

"BTW, somebody correct me if I'm wrong on calling X'057F' a hexadecimal 
representation.  It's really a split-byte representation.  I.e. decimal 57 
converts to hexadecimal 39."
     
     It's a hexadecimal representation of a string, but not exactly a hex 
     representation of the number.  Probably the most accurate description 
     is that it is a hexadecimal representation of a string containing a 
     packed binary-coded decimal number.
