ktnj[SOLVED] Saving Hex I2 Field On Mainframe Output
Hello all,
How can I save an I2 field with an on table Save?
The save changes the field to an alpha value.
That is, I want '000F' and I get 40F0'
Thanks to all.

j.grossI think you need to use SAVB instead of SAVE.
SAVE converts all field values into printable characters.
SAVB (the B stands for Binary) preserves the internal format of numeric fields.

ktnjThanks to all.
I think I have to write the output as a Hold file and reformat the file to remove the extra boundry alignment characters.

WazThere are many HOLD/SAVE formats, and I think on of them will do what you want.
Although, are you wanting an I2 that is unsigned ?
