Introduction
This routine will display the contents of a field in hexadecimal format with the EBCDIC and ASCII translation where possible. Also, the information may be written to a log file or simply passed back to the calling program. The format of the dump information is intended for use when dumping the contents of data file records.
We have made a significant effort to ensure the documents and software technologies are correct and accurate. We reserve the right to make changes without notice at any time. The function delivered in this version is based upon the enhancement requests from a specific group of users. The intent is to provide changes as the need arises and in a timeframe that is dependent upon the availability of resources.

SimoHEX4, What it Does
The SimoHEX4 routine (or callable program) will convert a text string to its hexadecimal value with a display or logging capability. It will also translate the possible printable characters for both ASCII and EBCDIC.
The following is an example of the hexadecimal dump information provided by the sample programs. This information may be displayed to the screen or written to a log file.

Company Overview
SimoTime Technologies was founded in 1987 and is a privately owned company. We specialize in the creation and deployment of business applications using new or existing technologies and services. We have a team of individuals that understand the broad range of technologies being used in today's environments. Our customers include small businesses using Internet technologies to corporations using very large mainframe systems.
Quite often, to reach larger markets or provide a higher level of service to existing customers it requires the newer Internet technologies to work in a complementary manner with existing corporate mainframe systems. We specialize in preparing applications and the associated data that are currently residing on a single platform to be distributed across a variety of platforms.
Preparing the application programs will require the transfer of source members that will be compiled and deployed on the target platform. The data will need to be transferred between the systems and may need to be converted and validated at various stages within the process. SimoTime has the technology, services and experience to assist in the application and data management tasks involved with doing business in a multi-system environment.
Whether you want to use the Internet to expand into new market segments or as a delivery vehicle for existing business functions simply give us a call or check the web site at http://www.simotime.com
