Subject:	SCOUG-Programming: REXX SysTempFileName function

Content Type: text/plain

Peter:

How 'about the REXX function "X2C()"? Please see below:

=

>> X2C(hexstring)
><
=

returns a string, in character format, that represents hexstring convert=
ed to character.
The returned string is half as many bytes as the original hexstring. hex=
string can be of
any length. If necessary, it is padded with a leading 0 to make an even =
number of
hexadecimal digits.

You can optionally include blanks in hexstring (at byte boundaries only,=
not leading or
trailing) to aid readability; they are ignored.

If hexstring is null, the function returns a null string.

Here are some examples:
X2C('4865 6c6c 6f') -> 'Hello' /* ASCII */
X2C('3732 73') -> '72s' /* ASCII */
