1. Conversion of character

Stupid question really, but I can't figure this out. I have a byte in a file on my PC that (using a hex editor) is shown as '43'x. This is in fact a length of a record and should convert to 67 (43 hex = 67 decimal).

I've read the data n using CHARIN, but for the life of me, can't figure out how to "convert/use" the hex character so that it becomes a valid decimal, such that I can do something like


rec_length = conversion(my_byte)
record = SUBSTR(record,2)   /* Throw away length indicator */
actual_record = LEFT(record,rec_length)

any help much appreciated

Use the VALUEIN function to read in that byte and automatically convert it to a REXX number. VALUEIN is essentially a call to CHARIN and then C2D.

The C2D function should do what you want, however, like Jeff said, the valuein function does it all.   Here's an example from reading the beginning of a .wav file, where the format is RIFFnnnnWAVE where nnnn is file length.

        /* Read the RIFF chunk */
        Riff = charin(inFN,,4)
        RiffLength = VALUEIN(inFN,, 4)
        Wave = charin(inFN,,4)
