Something else must be off in that code, maybe the offset in the substr? I
used Gilbert Saint-Flour's REXXTRY and got this result:
READY
REXXTRY
SAY C2X('1996160F'X)
END
1996160F

Subject: TSO Rexx C2X Incorrect Output
Hi,
I am writing a TSO Rexx Exec to Parse fields from a DCOLLECT output
(VB/32756/32760).
One statement is: created=C2x(Substr(dcollect.i,105,4))
(In DCOLLECT parlance, this is DCDCREDT).
For any date greater than 2000-01-01, I get the expected result.
But, when the field contains x'1999160F' (I BROWSEd the DCOLLECT output
to make sure), "created" has the value "19D9160F".
I'm stumped. (The third character in the result is "D" (as in "Dog"),
instead of "9").
I'm using PCOMM (in case that matters.)
Please help.
Thank you in advance.
Regards,
David
