Here is functions in REXX: C2X(), C2D(), D2C() and X2C() will be effected by the character set of your computer since they convert to or from characters. Note that if C2X() and C2D() get their first parameter as a binary or hexadecimal literal, the result will be unaffected by the machine type. Also note that the functions B2X(), X2B(), X2D() and D2X() are not effected by the character set, since they do not use character representation. C2X = char to hex C2D = char to decimal plus in reverse B2X = binary to hex B2D = binary to decimal plus in reverse Are there any equals in any other language ?
