| HEX-VALUE PIC X(4) | The hexadecimal value. |
When you are defining the parameters, use the exact field sizes specified in the calling conventions above, otherwise the runtime may terminate abnormally.
Any characters that are not valid hexadecimal digits are treated as the digit 0. Trailing spaces are removed from the input value before conversion.
