SSD,
No. There is no in-built function for the conversion. Check this link which shows you an example of converting to hex

You can use DISPLAY the comp-5 field and it will displayed in the sysout.
Hope this helps...
Cheers

Kolusu,
What if the number to be converted to hex is a negative interger ?
Regarding the display of COMP-5 the display shows some unreadable characters but once the COMP-5 is move to Zoned-decimal variable I could view the original value.
Thanks for your Replies

SSD,
Try this code for a sample negative input:
| Code: |
//STEP0100 EXEC PGM=SORT
//SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SORTIN DD *
-0065781053
/*
//SORTOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSIN DD *
SORT FIELDS=COPY
OUTREC FIELDS=(1,11,HEX)
/*
//
OUTPUT
60F0F0F6F5F7F8F1F0F5F3

|
|
Hi All,
I wrote a progarm to get the BASE 16 Hex equivalent of a Decimal Number.
So if the input is 978, the program gives 03D2.
Now I want to write 03D2 into a X(2) field in COBOL.
When I move hardcoded X'03D2' into X(02) , it works
but when I declare the same in Working storage and move the variable into
the X(2) , it does not work.
Can anybody please help ? |

What do you mean it is not working? can you show us the code? Here is a sample.
| Code: |
WORKING-STORAGE SECTION.
01 WS-A PIC X(02) VALUE X'03D2'.
01 WS-B PIC X(02) VALUE SPACES.
01 WS-C PIC X(02) VALUE SPACES.
PROCEDURE DIVISION.
MOVE WS-A TO WS-B
MOVE X'03D2' TO WS-C
DISPLAY 'WS-B IS : ' WS-B
DISPLAY 'WS-C IS : ' WS-C
