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"
