String Arrays and Cable Boxes - Favorite to Channel Number Linking

in NetLinx Studio
I'm using the XCH- SNAPI method for dialing favorites with a cable box.
How do I convert a channel value into ascii text?
most_recent_button = (PUSH_CHANNEL - 2000)
SEND_COMMAND vdvDirecTVHR24, "'XCH-',most_recent_button"

If most_recent_button shows a value of 181 in the debugger, it actually sends "XCH-$DA".
I need the syntax that will send that number as a decimal.

Thanks!
