Yet another idea, why not using binary/integer and write the hex
value into the field?

D MyDS DS
D MyChar 8A
D MyInt 20U 0

Or

DCL-DS MyDS;
MyChar Char(8);
MyInt Uns(20);
End-DS

MyInt = yourNextNumValue;
EvalR YouCounter = MyChar;

While every possible 8-byte character value is a valid 8-byte integer,
not every 8-byte integer will produce all visible glyphs, i.e. all
printable characters of EBCDIC code points for which the character data
will appear on "a few (hundreds) PGMs/Screens/Reports". Thus seems
unclear to me, how what is offered here might be directly applicable to
the OP; there seems to be nothing describing how to get from '9AAAAA' to
'9AAAAB' or '9AAA99' to '9AABAA' as requested in the OP.?

That is the reason why I suggested using %check and incrementing again
until a valid sequence is found.

if %check('012..9ABC..Z' : MyChar) = *zero ==> Ok, else increment again.
