I found my solution, thanks to those who responded:

This is what it was:

decimalformat           db "%d",0

should be something like

"%0Xh",00h

I found that this is almost right > it adds an h to the string value so I adjusted it like

should be

"%0X",00h

this is what nailed it. Should have realized that the call to the string is necessary and then needs a decision as to what TYPE of output it should be. So I've adjusted my models to include a program switch that will display both if needed.

Thanks for this...........Life saver!!
