Re: Manipulating a decoded UTF8 string

Can you show us what you were trying?

Hex or Char would make no difference - which indicates that your character version is wrongly coded.

%Scan ( X'F1' : xxxxx ) will produce the same result as %Scan ( char : xxxxx ) where "char" has the value X'F1'.

I also don't see why you need to "decoding the string into an RPG variable" - past experience should have shown you by now that therein lie problems <grin>

If %Scan can find the string then %ScanRpl will find the string and replace it for you.

So in another thread I got some help using base64_decode to decode an XML element and write that to the IFS specifying CCSID (1208).

They data is a ZPLII label string. I need to scan for value that represents the "end" of the label and replace that value with my own string BEFORE I write it to IFS.

The issue is that upon decoding the string into an RPG variable, I can't seem to find (%SCAN) find the value. If I scan for the hex equivalent I can find it. But then I'm not sure how to add my string?
Do I have to convert everything to hex to manipulate that RPG variable?

I've tried messing with CCSIDs on the RPG Variables, but didn't have much luck.

What am I missing?

Thanks,
Greg
