Kevin,

It has nothing to do with ASCII control characters or anything else esoteric.  17 decimal is 11 hexadecimal (16 + 1).  Since you asked for a 4 place field, that means that 17 in decimal is represented as 0011 in hexadecimal.

Want to know why cohex=0011 (based on the ASCII table 00=(null) and 11=(device control 1)? Thanks!!

1          data _null_;
2          cc=17;
3          cchex=put(cc,hex4.);
4          put _all_;
5          run;
CC=17 CCHEX=0011 _ERROR_=0 _N_=1
