Re: Convert character data to 2 byte hex value

[Vern Hamberg <vhamberg@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

He wants to go from the 16-byte value to a 32-byte representation - that 
is what CVTHC is for - that's where the naming gets screwy for me - but 
it means hex digits (H) to character representation (C).

For instance I have a 16 byte character field with binary data and I
> want to turn it into a 32 byte character field that is the hex

Documentation on CVTHC says "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."

This results in 2 characters in the output for each byte of the input. 
That's what he asked for.
