HI

The variables can be input as integers or in its place a hex code..

For example..

myInteger = 0x000000FF

? myInteger && Displays 255

SO converting Hex to Integer is that simple.

Now Integer to HEX.. can be done using the following code..
cHex = TRANSFORM(255,"@0&quot
? cHex && DISPLAYS 0x000000FF

The difference is.. that

? TYPE("cHex&quot && DISPLAYS C to indicate Character type
? TYPE("myInteger&quot && Displays N .. i.e. Numeric

Hope this helps you
