Hi

The string 'ABC' is x'C1C2C3' in hex decimal and if the attribute of the
NUM is zoned decimal type,it will work. The x'C1C2C3' means '123' in
Character Numeric at main frame (I'm not sure, but I heard so.) And SNA
will support it on AS/400 also. 

But... if it is a packed decimal field, it causes a decimal error.
Because the last 4bit is '3' in x'C1C2C3'.(If it is X'123F', it will be
OK.) Is the RPG program made with IGNORE DECIMAL ERROR option?
