TO_HEX

       Translate a non-negative decimal integer to a hexadecimal string

       HEX = TO_HEX( D, [ NCHAR ] )

       D - non-negative decimal integer, scalar or vector.  If input as a
           string, (e.g. '32') then all leading blanks are removed.

       NCHAR - number of characters in the output hexadecimal string.
               If not supplied, then the hex string will contain no
               leading zeros.

       HEX - hexadecimal translation of input integer, string

       IDL> A = TO_HEX([11,16])    ==>   A = ['B','10']
       IDL> A = TO_HEX(100,3) ==>   A = '064'

       The hexadecimal format code '(Z)' is used to convert.  No parameter
       checking is done.

       FSTRING() -- needed prior to V5.4 if formatting more than 1024 values
