Remarks
How it works
DHEX( ) displays each double-byte character using big-endian format, with the most significant double-byte stored first.
Each character is represented by a four-character code. The output string is four times as long as the field value, and includes the digits between 0 and 9 and letters between A and F that make up the hexadecimal values.
Related functions
DHEX( ) is the inverse of the HTOU( ) function, which converts a hexadecimal string to a Unicode string.
