Hi Craig,

I'd suggest a two step approach, the first being to convert the binary string to an integer, then covert the integer to hex. I recently saw a routine to do the latter conversion, so here's the first part:

FUNCTION BStr2Int

LPARAMETER pc_bstr

LOCAL lnresult, lni, lnj, lnlast
lnlast = LEN(pc_bstr)
lnj = -1
lnresult = 0
FOR lni = lnlast TO 1 STEP -1
lnj = lnj + 1
lnresult = lnresult + (VAL(SUBSTR(pc_bstr, lni, 1)) * (2 ^ lnj))
NEXT
RETURN lnresult

Regards,

George
