Since you are talking about a panel, you aren't trying to compare display characters are you? Are the values truly hex values or the display equivalent? (1000x vs F1F0F0F0c)

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. My data is SR01 = 3000 and ER01 = 30DF If (&SR01 > &ER01) .MSG = DRM001 I get the message saying SR01 is greater than 30DF and I cannot determine why. It is almost like it is ignoring the rules for Hexidecimal data. SR01.... Pool (S) .... - ISPYX211 VALUE(3000) ..CHG by SELECT - ISPYX212 ER01.... Pool (S) .... - ISPYX211 VALUE(30DF) ..CHG by SELECT - ISPYX212 If this looks okay, I will open an ETR with IBM. I know this was working under z/OS V1.4. But for some reason this same code is not working for z/OS V1.7.
