His responses indicate that that won't work. He's saying that (for example) 78 would be represented as decimal 78 (hex 4E) rather than the hex 78 that your proposition would produce.

I've already given my opinion of that supposition. :)

 All values are decimal.  Issue was how to get those values
converted from character string to single byte values.  So,
instead of two bytes containing F5F6 (zoned), a single byte
with 56 (no zones).

Ah, so what you want to do is convert the integer value to a (hex)
byte. Just create a data structure with a 3-digit unsigned integer
(data type 'U') and an overlaid single character. Put your numeric
value into the int and read back the char.
