Booth,

Why does it seem so confusing?  I think it's a terminology problem.
I've seen the request for a "convert to hex" function used for
conversion to 'C1C2' and conversion to X'C1C2'.

What do you mean by "123", and what do you mean by "hex"?  Tell us
what field type holds the 123 and exactly what value it would hold;
and what field type you want the result in and exactly what value
you want it to hold.
