Hex Character Display?

[ra]

This may be an easy one and I'm just missing it but is there a way to
display the underlying hex values of a field on a display.

Thanks,
Rob

Hi Rob,

You may try the cvthc() MI function to convert a hex string to its character
representation:

*
* Convert Hex to Character (CVTHC)
D cvthc...
D PR extproc('cvthc')
D i_pReceiver * value
D i_pSource * value
D i_size 10I 0 value

clear USR2966;
USR29661 = '';
cvthc(%addr(USR29662): %addr(i_eolChar):
%len(%trimR(i_eolChar)) * 2);
msg = f_newMsg('USR2966': USR2966);

In the sample given above i_eolChar contains a hex string that is converted
to a character string which is put into USR29661. E.g. given that i_eolChar
contained x'OD25' (2-byte hex string which is the ebcdic code for CR+LF),
USR29661 would contain '0D25' (4-byte character string) after having called
cvthc(). The length of i_eolChar has to be multiplied by 2 because the
length is specified in nibbles.

From the C Library Reference manual:

void cvthc (_SPCPTR receiver,
_SPCPTRCN source,
int size);

Description:

The cvthc function takes each hexadecimal digit (4- bit value) of source and
converts it to a character digit (8-bit value) and places into receiver.

Parameters:

receiver (input/output)
Pointer to an 8-bit character value.

source (input)
Pointer to a 4-bit hexadecimal value.

size (input)
The length in nibbles of the source.

Rob,

I forgot to mention that you have to specify the QC2LE binding directory at
the CRTPGM command or BNDDIR('QC2LE') at the H-spec.

Hell Rob,

the simplest way to show the hex values of a field is to use
SQL-Scalar-Function HEX():

C/EXEC SQL
C+ Set :MyHexField = Hex(:MyField)
C/END-EXEC

If you use dsppfm check F11 key

Someone with a better memory than I may have more info, but didn't some of
the old terminals actually have a key combination you could press that would
show a hex representation of all of the fields on the screen? Does anyone
know if any of the emulators offer a comparable feature?

OK. I should have bothered to look before my first reply. In Mochasoft
(www.mochasoft.dk), you can log the 5250 traffic to a text file that
includes both the EBCDIC characters, as well as a hex representation...

HTH,

I have a very old version of Rally! that will show the field attribute bytes
in hex. Maybe that's what you are thinking of, but I seem to remember and
IBM terminal that has could do the same thing.
