I want to see 199900. I get it as part of a character string that has
x'199900' in it. I need to convert that to decimal, 199900.

Thanks Dennis...what are the rules for a longer hex field? Like
x'199900' -
3 bytes of hex, and I need to convert it to 199900.

I don't understand your question. Hex is short for hexadecimal, and
hexadecimal indicates base 16. The value 199900 base 16 is 1677568
decimal.

Let's start with: what do you really want to see? 199900 or 1677568?
