You don't mean ASCII - you mean EBCDIC I hope because that is the default encoding used on the system.

You can do this via the MI instructions cvthc and cvtch. I described their use in this article http://archive.ibmsystemsmag.com/ibmi/developer/rpg/utilizing-mi-functions-in-rpg-programs/ <http://archive.ibmsystemsmag.com/ibmi/developer/rpg/utilizing-mi-functions-in-rpg-programs/>

Hi,

I want to use value of a field stored in a file to be converted in HEX
format so that my RPGLE program could convert that plain text acii type
character value in to HEX format and later on I could use it in my program.
So how can I achieve it?

Thanks
