Subject: [EXTERNAL] Four bytes field with bit manipulated

Dear All

I have a 4 byte field which represent total length of a data in a message and the length is specified using bits.

When I move this 4 byte field to 1500 character field it drops some of data from original 4 byte field

Ex if my 4 byte field contains below
00000000 00000000 00000000 01110011

When I move this to 1500 character field this shows as
00000000 00000000 00000000 00000001

I use free format RPG in 7.2 box any idea why this is happening.


Chamara.
