Thanks IAN.

That worked!  I've spent a LOT of time reading the SAS manual(I'm learning
as I write) and I did not see that.

Ike,

Use

   retain dunit 7000x ;

and get the $-signs out of your numeric formats.

Thanks everyone for your response. I see that I did not make my request
clear, however...

We have a SAS process that now works.  In order for it to work I have to
first translate a HEX number to decimal..

For example, the original number is 7000(HEX).  I manually translate this to
28672(Decimal), then enter it in the following statement..

RETAIN DUNIT3 28762;

The SAS routine then will output this in HEX with the following statements
and increment the number.  This works, but I'd like to have SAS perform the
HEX ot DECIMAL translation.

IF MDL = 3 THEN
  DO;
   PUT @1  '//DISK1  DD  UNIT=3390,VOL=SER=' DUNIT3 $HEX4.
           ZERO $HEX1. ZERO $HEX1. ',DISP=OLD  /* MOD3 */';
   DUNIT3 = DUNIT3 + 1;
  END;
IF MDL = 9 THEN
  DO;
   PUT @1  '//DISK1  DD  UNIT=3390,VOL=SER=' DUNIT9 $HEX3.
           DUNIT9 $HEX3. ',DISP=OLD  /* MOD9 */';
   DUNIT9 = DUNIT9 + 1;

I tried using...

RETAIN DUNIT3 7000;
FORMAT DUNIT3 HEX4.;

I don't get the desired reeslts when I do this.
