    According to the documentation you can use "HEX2ASCII".

     

    CALL "HEX2ASCII" 
      USING ASCII-VALUE, HEX-VALUE

    ASCII-VALUE PIC X(2)   The ASCII representation of a unit of data.
    HEX-VALUE   PIC X(4)   The hexadecimal value.

    01 hexValue pic x(01).
    01 decValue redefines hexValue pic 9(02) comp-x.

    move x"41" to hexValue
    now decValue should read 65 = x"41" = "A"
