I am getting hex numbers in from an RS-232 source and coverting them to store
in a database. The numbers are 4 bytes long, but often have non-zero values
in the rightmost 2 bytes. Is there any standard coversion method that gets
around the following anomoly?
?hex(32768)
8000
?&H8000
-32768
?&H00008000
-32768
I have to check for this bit set and subtract it. Do the conversion and add
32768 back in.
Best regards,
John
