I am probably missing something very obvious. I want to
input a hex
value and do an exclusive OR on the entered value. The
example in the
REXX manual shows rhe BITXOR function with two values
represented as
hex strings ( ie '12fe'x) Since I am using an inputted
value, the
value is a character string and not a numeric
representation. The
BITXOR is not interpreting the data correctly. A trace is
provided
below. How do I get the inputed value to a form that will
work with
the BITXOR function.
Thanks,
Neal

try:
bdate=d2c(ans,4)
/* note1: d2c *not* d2x */
/* note2: decide whether length should be 3 or 4 */
date1=bitxor(bdate,'1234'x)
