Hi Jacky,
Here's something that might do what you want. Just move your wk-aa to my
WS-WORK-X5.
The data structure is a bit over-done because I was using it for other purposes as well. Just try it as is and when you get it working you might want to simplify the structure.
Good luck.
| Code: |
05 WS-WORK-PACKED PIC 9(009) COMP-3.
05 REDEFINES WS-WORK-PACKED.
10 WS-WORK-X5.
20 WS-WORK-X1 PIC X(001).
20 WS-WORK-X3 PIC X(003).
05 REDEFINES WS-WORK-PACKED.
10 WS-WORK-BIN4 PIC 9(009) COMP.
05 WS-WORK-UNPACKED PIC 9(009).
05 REDEFINES WS-WORK-UNPACKED.
10 WS-WORK-UNPACKED-8 PIC 9(008).
100-CONVERT-HEX-DATA.
*--------------------------------------------------
* CONVERTS HEX DATA FOR DISPLAY PURPOSES
* E.G. X'04FB' => X'F0F4C6C2' OR 04FB CHARACTER
*--------------------------------------------------
MOVE WS-WORK-PACKED TO WS-WORK-UNPACKED
INSPECT WS-WORK-UNPACKED CONVERTING
X'FAFBFCFDFEFF' TO 'ABCDEF'
DISPLAY WS-WORK-UNPACKED-8

Oops, I forgot to mention that you'll have to adjust the field lengths to suit your needs. E.g., WS-WORK-PACKED s/b PIC 9(011); WS-WORK-X5 s/b WS-WORK-X6
PIC x(006); etc.
Always alloc one byte more than the length of your subject field because the unpacking process handles the low ord byte differently than the others.
