RE: Scan Hex values of Character field

Also, remember, you can't use the BIF %SCAN, because it does not put results
into all the elements of an array - just the first instance. This is one
case where you have to use fixed format (grrrr.....)

Try this setup.
   
     d CR              c                   X'0D'   
     d arr             s              1a   dim(3000)     

     c     CR            scan      char          arr
                                                      
This should fill the array with every position of hex '0D' in the CHAR 
field.

Here is my problem;

We have a 3000 long character field populated from Lotus Notes via DECS.

I need to find all instances of a carriage return ( hex value X'0D I

think)

so I can display the field on both green screen and printouts to

suppliers.

I can only find instances of single values character to hex conversions on
the archive.

Is something like this possible:

D           DS
D Char                  3000A
D  HexChar        3000B

Or other solutions gratefully received.
