The Send Hex Message command sends a message containing hex values
(such as X'C1' or X'03') and displays the message in both EBCDIC and
the converted hex format. This is designed as a testing aid when
dealing with hex values as the system support will display a blob
character for a value such as X'03'.
A typical SNDHEXMSG command would be:
SNDHEXMSG INPVAL(xxxx)
If the INPVAL had been X'C1C2F8'), the message would read:
Input hex - AB8 Hex - C1C2F8
SNDHEXMSG escape messages you can monitor for
---------------------------------------------
None. Escape messages from based on functions will be re-sent.
Command parameters *CMD
------------------
INPVAL The input value to convert. Up to 128 bytes may be
entered. The actual length is determined by
scanning for the rightmost non-blank position.
TOPGMQ The program queue to send the message to. The
default is *PRV meaning the previous program from
the one using the SNDHEXMSG command. For example,
if PGMA calls PGMB and PGMB uses SNDHEXMSG, the
message is sent to the PGMA message queue.
*SAME may be specified meaning the program message
queue of the same program that used SNDHEXMSG.
ID The ID to be part of the message. The default is
*NONE meaning there is no ID.
If an ID is entered, it appears at the beginning of
the message that is sent. The intended use is to
help identify the value.
Restrictions

SNDHEXMSG cannot be used from the top program in the program stack.
