But I still think Michael has the right approach.  The point is, if you use
a macro to dump out the generated macro variable one "word" per line, you
don't have to use hex values as separators, nor can I see why you'd want to.
You can simply use blank, or whatever else is appropriate for the macro
variable's ultimate use, as the SEPARATED BY delimiter, and have the macro
do the work of splitting the words onto separate lines for the dump.

%*doesn't work because macro function %scan does not recognize hex value;
