There is no need to convert formats out of XDS.
xdsconv can directly write shelx format files.
A line like
OUTPUT_FILE=filename.hkl    SHELX   FRIEDEL'S_LAW=FALSE    MERGE=FALSE
in XDSCONV.INP will directly write a fully unmerged file in shelx fromat
which can be used even in shelxl.
The FRIEDEL and MERGE parts should also have been present (in the same
line as OUTPUT_FILE) in XSCALE.INP
