Not sure if this is what you're looking for...

Hex2Dec FUNCTION(? hString)

lVal                LONG,AUTO
sPos                BYTE,AUTO
Correction          BYTE,AUTO
hCstring            CSTRING(11),AUTO

  CODE
  hCstring = CLIP(hString)
  lVal = 0
  Correction = CHOOSE(UPPER(SUB(hCstring,-1,1)) = 'H',1,0)
  LOOP sPos = 1 TO LEN(hCstring)-Correction
   lVal = lVal*16+(INSTRING(hCstring[sPos],'0123456789ABCDEF',1,1))-1
  END
  RETURN(lVal)

Probably better ways but this should get you started.
