Convert byte string to hexadecimal

Most Sirius $functions have been deprecated in favor of Object Oriented methods. The OO equivalent for the $Lstr_C2X function is the StringToHex (String function).

This function converts a byte string into its hexadecimal encoding. It is identical to $C2X (see the Rocket Model 204 User Language Manual), except it is longstring capable.

The $Lstr_C2X function accepts one argument and returns a string result which is the hexadecimal encoding of that argument.

The first argument is a longstring.

The returned value is the hexadecimal encoding of the argument string.

Syntax

<section begin="syntax" />%CODED = $Lstr_C2X(string) <section end="syntax" />

%CODED is set to the hexadecimal encoding of string

For example, the following code

PRINT $Lstr_C2X('Red rum')

would print D985844099A494, which is the hexadecimal representation of the EBCDIC characters "Red rum".

$Lstr_X2C is the inverse of $Lstr_C2X.

This $function is new in Version 6.8 of the Sirius Mods.
