int32 to hex

[angel]

hi
I am trying to use sprintf to convert a int32 variable to a hex using

char DS[7];
int32 variable
sprintf(DS,"%06x",variable)

If for instance the variable=771 I get 000003 instead of 000303. For any number I have 0000. If the variable is int it is not a problem but If
the format is int32 I think %06x is not correct.
Does anyone know the solution?
Thanks

You need to add an 'L'.
%x formats are to convert integers. To convert a 'long' (int16, or int32), the format is %Lx. What you are seeing is only the low 8bits of your value, since you don't have the 'L'. %06Lx, should give what you want.
