RE: Your favorite hex conversion routine - ILE

[Peter Connell <peterc@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Barbara,
Oops, posted the earlier version of the code which had the bug you mention.
I did in fact have precisely that problem until I saw the error of my ways.

Peter, watch out for the length parameter to these functions.  The
length to specify is the number of bytes in the longer parameter.
For cvthc, the length is the number of bytes in the result, but for
cvtch, the length is the number of bytes in the source.

In your call to cvtch, only the first half of OutputChar would have
the expected result.
