RE: Overflow line of a printer in a RPG/400 program

Charles,
Just remember, change the "B" data-type to "I" when you move that program over
to RPGIV, and nobody gets hurt. <tic>

Where you would normally put a P for packed, try B for binary.

Overflow line of a printer in a RPG/400 program






Hi!

I would like to know the overflow line of an internally described printer
file in a RPG/400 program. I know that in the INFDS at position 367-368
there is the information I need but when I try to get this value in my
program, I get a decimal data error... I noticed that the variable type
for
this field is Integer, so when I try to get the value in RPG/400 program,
I
receive an hexadecimal value representing the overflow line number.

Can I convert this hexadecimal value to a numeric value that my program
will
understand? Or is there another way to get this value in a RPG/400
program?

Thanks in advance for your help

Charles
