John:

  I am not sure if this is what you are looking for.  If not, I will
need more explanation.

2051  data _null_;
2052    ca01EB='0b8c7c80660803';
2053    Binary=put(input(ca01EB,hex14.),binary56.);
2054    put binary=;
2055  run;

Binary=00001011100011000111110010000000011001100000100000000011
