Cloverleaf 2209, Windows.
I have had an occasion where I needed to populate an OB field with the value hex 0d.
I believe, in prior releases (6.x) I accomplished this by simply using a COPY where the Source is ‘=\x0d’.
When I try this in Cloverleaf 2209, that gets converted to a hex 0a.
I can COPY =\x1c (or any other hex code I think) with the expected results just not \x0d.
It looks like the Xlate Configurator changes the 0d to a 0a as the Source appears in the GUI (not on the properties of the COPY Action) as ‘= ‘ (note the non-printable character after the =) so that the COPY is copying 0a and not 0d.
I think that is not right. Unless someone can point out how that is as designed, I consider it to be a bug. If someone could try this on a 6.x release of Cloverleaf (where I think I last did this using the COPY), I would appreciate the sanity check.
In case you need to do the same in whatever release of Cloverleaf you are on, and the straightforward COPY is not functioning as expected, here is what I did to get around that.
I used a CONCAT with the Source having @null @null and the Seperator value set to \x0d. That worked as desired.
