Put hexadecimal data into numeric field

[francoisf]

Hello,
i've to read hexadecimal data (i suppose because i can't read it using WRKQRY or DSPPFM).
Those data should be numeric data.
How can i read it by RPG program ?
Thank you !

You can convert it to charcter first, and then move it to a numeric field.

You need to use a C-runtime function, 'cvtch', and to do that, be sure you put the following in your H-specs:

H BNDDIR('QC2LE')

Here is an example:

Good luck.

Well if the dds of the file has it defined as hex,,, then the program will "read" it correctly. So will the wrkqry function.

By the way, I apologize for the unweildy link to Google News. Not long ago, Tech-Tips shortened the link which appears in the post with ellipses (...) - now, URL's fon't even have a hyperlink!

If you do a Google search in newsgroups with the following arguments

'cvtch' qc2le

the second thread is the same one I was referring to before.
