Hex low values

[Brad]

Can a string be built that contains a field with a hex value of "00" - spaces
give a value of "40".

[JE McGimpsey]

Not sure what you mean, exactly - how did you get your value of "40"?

=DEC2HEX(0,2)

will return "00"

When I upload the string from excel to the mainframe and look at the hex
representation of the space I get the value of "40"

A space character is 32 or hex 20, not hex 40. Are you sure your
mainframe file is ASCII text (not EBCIDIC)?

I believe that it is EBCIDIC.
