RE: Hex in RPG

Use the OVERLAY keyword (or a data structure, or a pointer).  I think you'll
define a number as "U" (unsigned) or "B" (binary) and overlay the rightmost
character with a character DS.  When you move the number 128 into the
numeric field, the data structure addresses the same memory location and
sees x'80'.

I'm sure somebody else will offer an elegant solution to this problem.  But
this doesn't require API's, and I might be completely off-base.

How would I do the same chore if the value to convert is a variable number
from 0 to 255?

What I want to do is to make a color value in hex from any base10 numeric
color value.  Color values are {red:blue:green} = {(0 to 255):(0 to
255):(0to255)} =  {(00 to ff):(00 to ff):(00 to ff)}

For example I'd like to convert '255:255:255'  to 'ff:ff:ff'

In you "D" spec, do INZ(x'15') or INZ(x'0D0A').  You can also do something
line EVAL OUTPUT=%TRIMR(TEXT1) + x'15' + $TEXT2

How do you code field or a line of code  that contains --  a hex 15
(X'15')
or hex 0D0A (x'0D0A') in a RPGLE V4R4 program.


Thanks
