Again, read the error message and read the documentation. The error says that the buffer length is invalid. What did you pass as the buffer length? What does the documentation say you are supposed to pass. If you are on a modern supported version of the OS, don't use qdcxlate at all and just use Ccsid's to do the translation.

Subject: Re: How to convert ascii value to hex in RPGLE

so any idea what corrections should i make in my program to make it work for these QDCXLATE and CVTHC so that i could supply Hex value of key field in file K1.

Thanks much....

Hi,

I already looked IBM API but it's failing and giving said errors not
sure what can i do now to convert that key value to hex value in my program.

which is the newer or faster way to do the same thing i mean from
converting from EBCDIC value to HEX value only way programatically i
was aware these APIs but that too are not working.



Thanks much...

Rishi,

Look at what those error messages are telling you.


I suggest you actually take the time to look up the IBM API "QDCXLATE"
and read the instructions on the IBM web page for that API, instead
of just blindly inserting a few lines of code you got from some other
program somewhere, and just expecting it to work.

And, once again, why do you keep "flogging a dead horse"? Why are
you trying to get QDCXLATE to do something that ILE RPG IV will do
for you automatically?

The error messages are pretty descriptive of the problem. There is
no definition for field LEN.

Perhaps you are making the mistake of thinking that defining LEN in
a prototype defines it? It doesn't - prototypes do not define
fields -
they
specify the requirements for a parameter.

All errors devolve from that single error. Including the message
about a missing prototype.

Hi,

I tried to write RPGLE program so that i could directly first
convert
key
field value from file K1 to ASCII and then ASCII to HEX using
QDCXLATE
and
CVTHC APIs respectively but now the program itself is not getting
compiled.
eventhough fasterways are available using online links but to
achieve
the
same functionality in AS400 program i was trying it.

please find the below link where i tried to read the file k1's
field
KEY
and then tried to assign it's hex value to my openssl command but
it
seems
program itself is not getting compiled.

To get the same value you will need to convert your data to
ascii
before
converting to hex.

Store directly the hex in a char field and avoid all problems.
The previously converted field will use twice the space, but
save you a
lot
of trouble.

***********
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.

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);
