Re: How to convert ascii value to hex in RPGLE

but it seems EBCDIC is not working that is why it's giving error .
also ideally Hex value should have been supplied in OPENSSL but i am not
sure how can i pass Hex value of key field in file K1 in my program if the
value of key field called KEY is having this value in file
k1:-661e275OIM1ULYLJ
what would you say is it ASCII or EBCDIC i mean to key value?
secondly if i convert the key as a HEX value then read that file and then
supply it in my openssl command then it works pretty well but i just want
the key values to be stored in plain text like this value (
661e275OIM1ULYLJ) and whenever it gets changed my program should
automatically convert it it's in HEX format then should pass it to openssl
command so that i could make it work well.
also if both would appear to be working then why is my program failing
where as it was working pretty fine when i was hardcoding it's value
directly in hex format in my file.

Thanks much...

I did not look at the links/code referred to, but

'D196954081958440E2A4A28195406040D78199A3958599F4F0F0'

is EBCDIC while

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

is ASCII...

Both would appear to be working, but aren't using the same encoding schemes

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
