Hi,

do you know, a method to convert an decimal value (integer) to the
corresponding hexadecimal value ?

Starting in R 2.1.0, sprintf can be used:

> x <- c(0, 65535, 65536, 305419896, 2^31-1)
> y <- sprintf("0x%X", x)
> y
[1] "0x0"        "0xFFFF"     "0x10000"    "0x12345678" "0x7FFFFFFF"
> as.numeric(y)
[1]          0      65535      65536  305419896 2147483647
