Hello,

I'm looking for some advise on converting Hex to Decimal values.

Something like '073D7AAE' needs to be converted to it's corresponding decimal '121469614'.

I want to perform this as a define or user function instead of creating temporary file for lookup.

Thanks in advance.

Yes, I was able to find that before.

But like I requested, I'm wondering if there is any way to skip creating the look up file and simple way to get decimal value. Just like UFMT gives hex value.

I was able to convert Hex to Dec when using a SQL pass-through. You just need to make sure that you add a '0x' to the front of your HEX as you can see I did in the &SQLHEX variable:

 
-DEFAULTH &MYHEX = '073D7AAE'
-SET &SQLHEX = '0x' | &MYHEX;

ENGINE SQLMSS SET DEFAULT_CONNECTION YOUR_SERVER_NAME
SQL SQLMSS PREPARE SQLOUT FOR

SELECT '&MYHEX' AS HEX, CONVERT(INT, &SQLHEX.EVAL) AS DEC

END

TABLE FILE SQLOUT
PRINT *
END



I'm sure that you could use the DB_EXPR function if you don't want to use a SQL Pass-through.
