InstallScript does not have a builtin hexadecimal data type. All numbers are expressed in decimal form.

In order to convert a number to hex, you will have to store it in a string. You can use the Sprintf() function to convert the decimal number to a hex string.

NUMBER numDecimal; // decimal version of the number
STRING strHex; //string where you want to save the hex version of the number

Sprintf(strHex, "%lX", numDecimal);

Thanks a lot MGarrett, I'll try for the same and will revert back if I face any probs.
Thanks again.:)

Note that you can also use 'StrToNumHex' and 'NumToStr' functions to do the conversion.
