Octal and Hex byte values in string literals

[gsherry1]

Hello Forum,

I wish to know if is possible to reference Octal and Hex byte codes in string literals?

For example:

if (In.StrFld = '\000\001')

This doesn't seem to work, as Len('\000\001') returns 8 rather than 2. The documentation does often use \DDD and \xDD notation but not in the context of string literals in derivations.

Thanks,

Greg

I've found that different places in PX require different formats for just about everything. If this isn't a huge volume job, use CHAR(000) and CHAR(001) instead of the direct literal so that you can continue developing while perhaps waiting for the correct answer.

Thanks ArndW.

It interesting that Char seems to be the only conversion function that is available in PX jobs, but is not documented in the Parallel Job Developer's Guide.
