no it does not Rene. He is using ODBC, but on Image site the field is X100 and it is consist of X20 field, X10 field, Comp field, X2 field, Comp field, X12 field and Xbuffer for the rest
So through ODBC he is getting X100 into string in VB and in VB he needs to do the breaking of the fields...

eadable format?
Friend of mine asked me if I can:
<< Can you ask our HP buddies and find out what the formula is to convert comp
ields to readable format
know what its doing but I just don’t get the formula
know it is packing the information into 4 bytes for example 5500 = 7)
ow to get something into pure binary form
I am trying to read the 100 byte string which contains some packed fields (I do
ave the layout) in Visual Basic and need to update SQL from VB>>
Any ideas or directions will be highly appreciated.
Thank you
