As others have noted, this is either a homework assignment or a very confused question. y = (x+1) * 80 would seem to work, but that's so obvious that I'm assuming it's not the answer. If I just did your homework for you: abandon hope, you'll never make it if you couldn't figure that out.

Re: convert Decimal to bytes
Converting decimal to bytes is trivial. Locate the first 'd' and replace with 'byt'. Locate the string 'cimal' and replace with 's'.

Re: convert Decimal to bytes
I come very late to this thread, but my conjecture is that the OP's problem is a terminological one. I think he wants to be able to convert display, character-string representations like '202' of decimal numbers into their internal, storage representations. He does need to tell us what environment and language he is using so that we can tell him how, specifically, to solve his problem. Since he probably has a PC he could of course use the Windows calculator.

Re: convert Decimal to bytes
I am not sure what you are trying to accomplish so this may or may not be useful. I have a routine that displays a Unix directory converting the file sizes from bytes to GB, MB or KB: /* convert bytes to nnn.n KB, MB, or GB */ Select When bytes = 1024*1024*1024 Then filesize = Trunc(bytes/(1024*1024*1024),1) 'GB'; When bytes = 1024*1024 Then filesize = Trunc(bytes/(1024*1024),1) 'MB'; When bytes = 1024 Then filesize = Trunc(bytes/1024,1) 'KB'; Otherwise filesize = bytes 'bytes'; End It would be easy enough to add 80 to bytes before this segment or as part of the formulae. -- Donald Grinsell State of Montana 406-444-2983 dgrins...@mt.gov The power of accurate observation is often mistaken for cynicism by those who have not got it. ~ George Bernard Shaw -Original Message- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:IBM-MAIN@listserv.ua.edu] On Behalf Of Grinsell, Don Sent: Wednesday, 20 June 2012 15:23 To: IBM-MAIN@listserv.ua.edu Subject: Re: convert Decimal to bytes I'm not sure what you're asking.
