Re: Four bytes field with bit manipulated

Chamra - what you are saying doesn't make a lot of sense.

If the 4 byte field (a 10i in RPG terms) contains the length of the data to move - why are you moving _it_ to the char(1500) - it makes no sense.

Show us the definitions and the code you are using and we can probably tell you what is wrong.

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.
