CHARS

The conversion utility supports BIT, HEX and NUM validation with TYPE=CHARS. The PARM1 attribute must have the value EQ. The PARM2 attribute value can be either "01" for BIT validation, "0123456789ABCDEFabcdef" for HEX validation, or "0123456789" for NUM validation.

Here is an example where a check list in the hexc variable class validates hexadecimal values:

<!doctype dm system>

<varclass name=hexc type='char 2'>
  <checkl msg=liba008>
     <checki type=chars parm1=eq parm2='0123456789ABCDEFabcdef'>
  </checkl>

The conversion utility generates an ISPF hex verification statement in the )PROC section.
