[R] R-help: conversion of long decimal numbers into hexadecimal

Hi there, could somebody help me to convert a decimal number into a hexadecimal number? I know that there is the function sprintf, but the numbers I want to convert consist of 20 or more numbers. Spintf is not able to convert these big numbers. Thanks for any help. Antje
