Re: Converting Decimal to Hex

Then in this (from Info Center)...

Convert Hex to Character (CVTHC)
Op Code (Hex) Operand 1 Operand 2

1086 Receiver Source

*Operand 1*: Character variable scalar.

*Operand 2*: Character variable scalar.


The variables aren't really char? Do you have a prototype that shows how to
pass an integer to cvthc?

Thanks...

integer field (5U 0). I then take the %Char of the integer

That's where you go wrong. By using %Char you created the character
_representation_ of the value. If you want the hex version of the int
then simply pass the int or do it using a DS or some other form of
redefinition make it available as character without any transform.
