Any1?
Please use professional language, and explain your requirement more clearly.
Why would you want to convert character data to hexadecimal and use it in a compare, when you can compare character data directly to hexadecimal ('nn'bx) data?

Character data are hexadecimal data; as Mr. Prins indicates, comparisons between character and hexadecimal literals are trivial.
If you mean that you wish to convert, e.g., 'A' into 'C1', I suggest looking at the HEX and HEXIMAGE functions.
