Re: how to compare variables in hex format?

but I need to use comparisons with hex number inside the pl/sql syntax, in order to develop a package with byte-operations for a dex cript alghorithm.

the example I wrote was intended to consider the last 2 bytes of the array of char InData....

thankyou again, Raffaele
