Hi Joe ---

ASCII? Don't you mean numeric conversion from hex to base 10 decimal? If so:

*** Convert From Hex to Dec
PROCEDURE HexToDec
LPARAMETERS cHexValue
LOCAL nDecValue,i
nDecValue=0
FOR i = 1 TO LEN(cHexValue)
   nDecValue=nDecValue+((AT(SUBSTR(cHexValue,i,1),"0123456789ABCDEF")*(i-1))
ENDFOR
RETURN nDecValue

>I am exporting data to another software program that uses hex as delimiters is there anywhere i can find ascii or equivalent conversions
>or how would i know what to use. Suggestions would be appreciated
