Does anyone have a decimal to hexadecimal routine. I had no problem producing a hexadecimal to decimal routine, but I seem to have run into a problem producing a decimal to hexadecimal routine.

How about... x$ = hex$(y&)

So simple, I wasn't aware of the function HEX$. Thanks!

Fred,
For the hexadecimal to decimal conversion, use:
Given the abilities of the PowerBASIC compiler, it will be faster and more efficient than doing the work in Basic code.Code:x& = VAL("&H" + HexVal$)

Note that you should prefix the hex string with a leading zero to ensure that the value is treated as an unsigned value:
A$ = "FFFF"
PRINT VAL$("&H" + A$)
PRINT VAL$("&H0" + A$)
Results:
-1
65535
Also note that VAL() is capable of working with binary and octal strings too:
A$ = "1010101"
PRINT VAL("&B0" + A$)
A$ = "76543"
PRINT VAL("&O" + A$)
