I did not try it, but I think if you define a DS whit an integer and a
char overlapped you will get it translated by moving an hex value to the
char and using the integer or vice versa.

No, that wouldn't work ... the hex is in character form.

For example: 'BC614E' is x'C2C3F6F1F4C5'.

I wanted to convert 'BC614E' to 12345678.

The cvtch did exactly what I needed.
