I think you need to explain what you are attempting a bit better.
Literally your example transform does nothing.

Are you trying to convert strings to IBM 360-style BCD where one
decimal digit appears in each nibble with the last nibble used to
encode the sign? in other words a string of bytes?  Or do you want to
start with a long or int?

This is very similar to converting to hex. See

One of the most useful comments you can put in a program is 
"If you change this, remember to change ?XXX? too".
