to be clear, I need the value I get, being the message key, able to
directly pass
into the qmhrmvpm (Remove message) api. The api says the message key parm
is to
be char(4).

With the Interpret Function (as Niels mentioned) you can convert the
HEX-Value of the Message Key into an Integer Value.
Select Message_Key, Interpret(Message_key as integer), a.*
from Table(QSYS2.Joblog_Info('*')) a;

In you RPG program you should no longer use the Binary data type. And 4B 0
in RPG is not the same as 4-Byte Binary. The RPG variable should/must be
defined as 10I 0.

using the TABLE(QSYS2.JOBLOG_INFO('*')) function.
I want to return the MESSAGE_KEY.

D wMsgKey s 4b 0
exec sql
select MESSAGE_KEY into :wMsgKey
from TABLE(QSYS2.JOBLOG_INFO('*'))
where MESSAGE_TYPE = 'COMPLETION'
ORDER BY ORDINAL_POSITION DESC
FETCH FIRST 1 ROWS ONLY;

on compile I get : SQL0303 Variable WMSGKEY not compatible or
value too long.

Check out https://ibm.co/3aeHq1y

You'll need to declare the variable with a SQLTYPE keyword.

dcl-s wMsgKey SQLTYPE(BINARY:4);

That's just a guess at the syntax though.
