Your description is unclear, but I think I understand... :)

I think you're wanting to do this:
    #4E23  as a number --> "4E23" as a string, without printing it.

For this you need the sprintf() function (notice the extra 's')
Then you can do this:
    sequence hexstring
    integer  hexval
    hexval = #4E23
    hexstring = sprintf("%04x", hexval)

I don't even need to write a function this time. :)

Hope this is what you wanted,
Carl
