Hi Rob, Thank you. Looking at the specs reference, I do see PRINT <expression> where expression must be a numeric when PICTURE is used, otherwise a string is also acceptable. But so far I only have seen examples that showed something like PRINT #0 or PRINT a, either with or without a picture. So I wasn't aware we could also use a conversion in the PRINT statement.
Indeed "SET #13:=substr(#10,5,1)" and "PRINT #13 C2B nw" did the trick. I this case I am processing the Domain 0 Record 16 monitor records. For each LPAR, when activated, it contains an array for the configured processors of the LPAR. So when there are CPU records in the array I use a while loop to parse out the various fields for each CPU. I also have similar ones for the Physical CPU records (00 17) and the CPU-MF arrays (05 13 and 05 20).

You need to have the tool do the work... When I care about some of the bits in a byte, I typically div and mod to get an integer, and use that to index in an array of values (with the word() function). I guess the c2b() isn't there because we didn't expect that would be useful in an expression. If you're just going to output it, you could "spec print #13 c2b " couldn't you?
