Hi,
Long back i faced this Hex Values issue, i used the below code in  the charecterictic routine of transforamtions
my source field was: TXZ01
my target infoObject was : ZMAT_TXT
please find the code below which i used, first read it and do the needful changes as per your requirement
FIELD-SYMBOLS: <ic> TYPE x.
    DATA: hex_count  LENGTH 2 TYPE n.
    DATA: char_count LENGTH 2 TYPE n.
    DATA: x8         LENGTH 2 TYPE x.
    DATA:
    hex1(64) TYPE x VALUE
'00000020000100200002002000030020000400200005002000060020000700200008'
'002000090020000A0020000B0020000C0020000D0020000E0020000F0020',
    hex2(64) TYPE x VALUE
'00100020001100200012002000130020001400200015002000160020001700200018'
'002000190020001A0020001B0020001C0020001D0020001E0020001F0020'.
    IF SOURCE_FIELDS-txz01 = ' '.
      RAISE EXCEPTION TYPE CX_RSROUT_SKIP_RECORD.
    ENDIF.
    RESULT = SOURCE_FIELDS-txz01.
    hex_count = 0.
    char_count = 0.
0000---001F
    ASSIGN RESULT TO <ic> CASTING TYPE x.
    DO.
      MOVE <ic>+hex_count(2) TO x8.
      SEARCH hex1 FOR x8 IN Byte MODE.
      IF sy-subrc <> 0.
        SEARCH hex2 FOR x8 IN BYTE MODE.
        IF sy-subrc = 0.
          result+char_count(1) = ' '.
        ENDIF.
      ELSE.
        result+char_count(1) = ' '.
      ENDIF.
      IF hex_count < 78.
        ADD 2 TO hex_count.
      ENDIF.
      ADD 1 TO char_count.
      IF char_count >= 40.
        EXIT.
      ENDIF.
    ENDDO.
