Subject: ISPF Panel Issue with HEX Data
Hi All,
We are z/OS V1.7.
I am trying to validate HEX data in an ISPF Panel. I am working with
UCB strings. So they are 4 digits long containing 0000 - FFFF.
I have a test in my panel
IF (&SR01 > &ER01) then produce a message indicating beginning range
is greater than ending range.
So if SR01 = 100F adn ER01 = 1000 I want the message produced. Else
if SR01 = 1000 and ER01 = 100F it is okay.
<SNIP>
I'm going to take a guess: your numbers may be getting extended so that
they are negative (a la LH into a register rather than ICM...) and so
your compares are tainted by that side effect (unwanted though it may
be).
Later,
Steve Thompson
I don't think so, since neither of the values have an '8' or
higher for their leftmost hex digit.
Kind regards,
