Re: CLLE program turn a number into a HEX character value...

I've not heard of a CVTHEX CL command.  That must be something unique to 
your shop?

But, you say your code works, so I don't understand what else you'd like 
to discuss about it?    I could offer the cvthc routine as an 
alternative, but I'm not sure that I'd call it "better."
