Of course; the standard way to convert binary to hex is the UNPK/TR with a one byte pad.

Unpacking X'0123xy' (with a source length of 3 and a destination length of 5) gives you X'F0F1F2F3yx' which, when you drop the last byte, gives you what you want. This assumes that there is an addressable byte immediately after X'0123' For a general solution, copy the source field to a sufficiently large work area before unpacking. -- Martin Dr Martin Ward | Email: mar...@gkc.org.uk | http://secure-web.cisco.com/1lagfs9GjyiyLT82Ko-qpifb67fwapePMSu4hk-KLL9Cuw1Dv2lxf8XLjorCTFzvoSytC7yetXWud7Orhlxk8PYk2LT-BzzCB8QwgqWQ_GCl4XFLonmHV3QiPFFyWl9r3O-RxMr7EeW3bVXA3qdr2uLLpSBdLHSC60Mn8oc-3gZ41bV8MvqSvV2Ig1wvac7TCVYI1Cokf6ZY9CjAYVJw4WlnxYGp1tVFbM0xqtfdCpHjy7cukGyH_q0RN0d3mUEOjjk0SKUZAf2MormdyraoJO6BTIHydBjmiIVddu2xpMi9Hx2PNm4Cl0_qTJ87Rh6fafPhM7N-Oa8b9SJW_MFdcQBqUtFxnIoGqg1ctU1RIK9dYB5M4DuJjmw8ruEWV0a5qVyPVSkBz4xFAePDKA2WdVA/http%3A%2F%2Fwww.gkc.org.uk G.K.Chesterton site: http://secure-web.cisco.com/1EFv6ITm-cNPZyc6WUhu5xV68B2nBl3Uk0xaQxJ76I90PTqR9iuF72rwOH7ANwbiSgc7DNIU5g0WWZMJGbQmDPStTPrE83paP9H2Q-VQADfxQ-5CzA0xoQG_9UpkKcdu_0ijk4iCGKzcCg3Nrs958Hus8IdtODBeclqOWt4vZoC7ZGGpNDS0G0VHoJBw2-ZRuhkgYVwFLTMu940d6JODhT89XdKnccfHj_anNDgRZBpiQ7Ank09WBMK6Df1MpajbefsCgKWLKJw7mlS64zezTcmi1GTD9gY1o6LfdujKrGRx4l8yXds6KJtvJ9CllXxJcl4J4ue6vs7uhskTYVuueIAFCXm3fWu8HCr0YGoUnhY67xGoXYVzm3OZAF2KCjQTAMxumXfFxJRqHVsuMk6yTtQ/http%3A%2F%2Fwww.gkc.org.uk%2Fgkc | Erdos number: 4
