Hi,
It is my understanding that when you reterive data from a IPCS dump using Evaluate And Specify "REXX(STORAGE(STRG) UNFORMATTED)" The data is returned as a Hex String meaning C1C2C3 is 3 Bytes in String Not 6 When I use SUBSTR to pick out the fields and Format them C2X,C2D Everything is out of whack ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
