You probably need cvtch for that, not cvthc. See this link

I need to convert a char 16 field to binary 8. For example the filed
passed to my program is '539DE87D3BCF33FC' but I need it to be
x'539DE87D3BCF33FC'. I looked in the archives and found a

recommendation

to use cvthc but I couldn't get that working. Thanks.
