Hi all,

HEXIMAGE functions returns a Hex presenation of a storage area.

Is there any function to fill memory with a given hex presentation.

Example: Given is '404040' in a char(6) variable, and i like to move 3 blanks (assuming ebcdic coding) to a storage area.

I cann't find any builtin function as opposite to heximage builtin function.

regards,
bauer

I don't "do" pl/i, but is there some reason a literal or a variable cannot be used?

Yes, there is a reason.

Code:
char_var = '  xyz';


where x is whatever x'45' is, y is whatever x'12' is and z is whatever x'e4' is.
