Hex message ID (-HMID)
Use the Hex Message ID adapter command (-HMID) to specify message identifiers using hexadecimal pair notation. This passes to the adapter the exact message ID to locate, even if that message ID contains non-printable values, spaces, or even null characters.

- Description
- hex_message_ID
- This is the hexadecimal message identifier.
For example, the ASCII message ID My Msg is represented as 4D79204D7357 when specified with the Hex Message ID adapter command (-HMID). The space character must be encoded in the hex pair notation.
The hexadecimal message ID wildcard notation is not encoded in the hex pair notation. The wildcard character * is entered literally. The hexadecimal pair notation for x*z is 78*7A, not 782A7A.
The Hex Message ID (-HMID) cannot be used with the Message ID adapter command (-MID).
