If by hex you mean a binary value, then the following will work (and without
shifts too):

The following code will convert a binary value into a string of EBCDIC
numbers.  The binary value is assumed to be positive.  In any case, the
sign will be ignored.  The value to convert is loaded into R1.  The
result is left in the area labeled DECOUT.  DECTMP is a scratch area
and must be 8 bytes long. DECOUT can be up to 10 bytes long.

         L     R1,<Value>
         CVD   R1,DECTMP
         UNPK  DECOUT,DECTMP
         OI    DECOUT+L'DECOUT-1,X'F0'

DECTMP   DS    D
DECOUT   DS    CL8
