Re: XLATE

["Peter Dow" <pcdow@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Chris,

Looks like XLATE is not setting the length of RawMicr. The manual does say
the result field has to be the same length as factor 2, or larger, but I
always figured that applied to fixed-length fields.

Try
     c     ctoadl:cTOAD  XLATE     RawMicrIn     RawMicr
     c                   EVAL      %len(RawMicr) = %len(RawMicrIn)

just to see if that's the problem.

HTH,
