Converting to HEX

Archiver

I have a 3-digit variable called AD0 - 729, 778, 810, etc.

I want to convert the first 2 digits of AD0 to HEX and store it in AD0a.

If AD0 = 729 then AD0a = $72

I want to do the same thing with digit 3 and store it in AD0b

if AD0 = 729 then AD0b = $9

Any suggestions? Remember I'm working with a variable woth unknown digits.

Sid

Not the equivalent, but the same thing. In other words I want to convert 72 to
$72, not to $48, which is the equivalent of decimal 72.

Hi Sid,

Can't you split your variable into 'HIGHNIB' and 'LOWNIB' and then do your
conversion on that ?

Regards,

Klaus
