That's NOT hex ... hex would be X'F0F0...C1...'. If that's actually a character string, then it's the EBCDIC representation of the hex values which you don't usually see in records. How did you get that?

At any rate, DFSORT doesn't have any built-in functions to do that kind of unusual conversion. You could write a simple E15 exit to do the conversion.

THis is a good candidate for using Rexx. See the x2c function
