Re: Scan Hex values of Character field

[Michael_Schutte@xxxxxxxxxxxx]

I think you may be thinking too hard.  I believe (that's dangerous when
coming from me :-) ), that you don't need to convert the string.  You
should be able to define the HEX value you want to search for and just scan
the original string field for that value.

D CarriageReturn      C                   x'0D'

%scan(CarriageReturn:String)

Here is my problem;

We have a 3000 long character field populated from Lotus Notes via DECS.

I need to find all instances of a carriage return ( hex value X'0D I think)
so I can display the field on both green screen and printouts to suppliers.

I can only find instances of single values character to hex conversions on
the archive.

Is something like this possible:

D           DS
D Char                  3000A
D  HexChar        3000B

Or other solutions gratefully received.

Regards
