I want to display the hexadecimal values of contents of a variable.
Lets say the value stored in a variable is "A" then in the sysout I wish to display the hexadecimal equivalent which is C1.
I think if I display the normal value of the variable and go to sysout and do a hex on, I should see the hex values but I want the sysout to display the hex values rather than the normal values.
Is this possible in COBOL?

Not possible directly, you need to write a COBOL program or you can find one at this address:

The PDF you pointed to contained a lot of very interesting stuff besides displaying content in Hex.
