Re: How to convert ascii value to hex in RPGLE

Ok,thanks but program shown in this link is converting hex value
incorrectly if i compare it from
website link from below:
*https://www.rapidtables.com/convert/number/ascii-to-hex.html
<https://www.rapidtables.com/convert/number/ascii-to-hex.html>*


Hex value from program:-HEXEQUIVALENT =
'D196954081958440E2A4A28195406040D78199A3958599F4F0F0'

TESTSTRING = 'Jon and Susan - Partner400'

but HEX value as per below link is different for same text string (' 'Jon
and Susan - Partner400' ).

*https://www.rapidtables.com/convert/number/ascii-to-hex.html
<https://www.rapidtables.com/convert/number/ascii-to-hex.html>*

hex value :-4a 6f 6e 20 61 6e 64 20 53 75 73 61 6e 20 2d 20 50 61 72 74 6e
65 72 34 30 30

I tried below link but it's not working showing same error :-

***********
Ideally HEX Value of the key(661e275OIM1ULYLJ) used here
is 363631653237354f494d31554c594c4a but program advised to use HEXAPI is
giving wrong HEX value it's
giving value in debug mode like this :-HEXEQUIVALENT =
'F6F6F185F2F7F5D6C9D4F1E4D3E8D3D1 '

So that might be the reason my program is failing and giving above
mentioned error.

Thanks

Hi

You could roll your own convert to hex routine.
A long time ago I coded a hex converter in RPG III.
This following is a port to RPG ILE
I havent run this code snippet I copied it from another program I posted
in the wiki.
But the general idea is to calculate the index to the hex character in
the CRS array by turning low order bits off then high order bits off.
It converts the 1 byte FLD to hex in the string RU.


D DS
D BIN 1 2B 0
D HX1 2 2
D HX2 1 2

D RU S 255 varying
D FLD S 1
D X0F C X'0F'
D XF0 C X'F0'
D Z S 5 0
D CRS S 1 DIM(16) CTDATA PERRCD(16)

BIN = 0;
HX1 = FLD;
HX1 = %BITAND(HX1 : XF0);
Z = BIN / 16 + 1;
RU = RU + CRS(Z);

BIN = 0;
HX1 = FLD;
HX1 = %BITAND(HX1 : X0F);
Z = BIN + 1;
RU = RU + CRS(Z);

Hi,

Just realized i had put + sign incorrectly at this statement in my

program

which i shared in previous email link.

1. callp ToHex(HexEquivalent:+
2. KEY: %len(KEY)*2);

after removing it though it got compiled successfully but when trying to
run giving error
