How can I display hexadecimal representation of an alphanumeric value?

Rahul Dubey

I have below variable:

01 WS-KEY

 05 WS-KEY1 PIC X(08).

 05 WS-KEY2 PIC X(50).

While trying to read WS-KEY against the file, I am getting file status code of 23 (which means that record is not present). However, when I checked the file, I can see the record.

I am suspecting that the WS-KEY2 has junk value somewhere in it which might be leading status code of 23. How can I display the hexadecimal value of WS-KEY (or WS-KEY2 alone) to check if it has any junk value. I tried using HEX-OF function but I believe that may not be relevant for RM/COBOL.

    Hi Rahul. May I ask for clarification of your question, please? If I understand the situation, you have an RM/COBOL indexed file that you cannot read using a RM/COBOL program. Is that correct?
