Does anyone have a routine (COBOL preferable) that converts a standard text field into its HEX values? For example, if I have a field 'BEFORE,' I want to be able to translate it to CCCDDC 256695 or to C2C5C6D6D9C5. My ultimate goal is the first choice (vertical format), but I can deal with either. I will code this in my COBOL program, so that is why COBOL...I can do it in other places easily, but I am trying to create a model program that is self contained. Thanks in advance! * Don * ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
