C2X (conversion order)
Specifies that the input data is converted to hexadecimal notation. For
example, if the input is AB, C2X returns the EBCDIC hexadecimal value
X'C1C2'. C2X is particularly useful when you must display input data
containing nondisplayable characters.
C2X is the inverse of X2C.
CHKEY
Obtains the CHKEY as defined by system macro IEECHAIN. This is the
step-name of a task or the job-name of a job.
CNVDT (conversion order)
Specifies that the input data is a date or time value and is changed to another
date or time format. CNVDT must be followed by a parenthetical expression
containing two entries. Each of these entries specifies a date or time format.
The first entry is the format of the input data and the second is the format of
the converted output.
Each entry can be the keyword DATE, the keyword TIME, or a string 4–8
characters in length. Specifying one entry for date and another for time is not
supported.
DATE
Indicates the format is the date format specified by the DEFAULTS or
OVERRIDE command.
TIME
Indicates the format is the time format specified by the DEFAULTS or
OVERRIDE command.
from template or to template
Indicates that the conversion format is provided.
If a template is supplied, it must conform to the conditions specified for
the date or time templates used with the DEFAULTS or OVERRIDE
command. When using a template, both entries within the parenthetical
expression must be for dates or times.
The input data is searched from the beginning of the data for a date format.
For time conversion the input is searched from the end.
CNVDT0 (conversion order)
Specifies that the same conversion is done as for CNVDT. However, if the
input data does not match the specified input format, no data is passed to the
output.
D2C (conversion order)
Specifies that the input character string representing a signed or unsigned
decimal number is to be converted to a 4–byte signed binary number. Use the
RIGHT 2 conversion order to reduce the output to 2 bytes. For example, if the
input was 49602, D2C returns AB.
Use D2C with an input resulting in 4 characters or less. The results of D2C are
unpredictable with an input resulting in more than 4 characters. Use D2C to
convert only the substring requiring conversion. For more information, see the
conversion order for “SUBSTR” on page 115.
D2C is the inverse of C2D.
DT (conversion order)
Specifies that the input data is a store clock (STCK) value, such as that
obtained from the IFRAUGMT input order, and is to be converted to a
