Re: How to work with hex in REXX

[Bruce Roy]

Try using the X2C REXX builtin function.  For example, 
  
   String = X2c(PRK)

If the value of PRK will ever have a length different than 4 (which seems to
be required by your logic), check the X2c documentation for the length
operand.

Subject: How to work with hex in REXX

Greetings,

I have a character field for example 0001A735 (PRK)

I have record like this ‘DATA DATA YYYY’. I want to replace ‘YYYY’ with
x’0001A735’. 

Tried :

String = "'"||PRK||"'x"  
JCL.J = Overlay(String,Record,WORK,4)

Where work = position of ‘YYYY’ in record

Not working.
