looping in hexadecimal with bash

i want to write a script that creates a directory tree named in hexadecimal but i'm stuck at the hexadecimal part ... here is my code (incase i was dealing with intergers ...using bash)
Code:
max=39
for((i=1;i<=max;i++))
  do 
    mkdir $i
    cd $i
done

i have tried using "typeset i16 i" but this gives me an error in bash but it works with ksh yet it names my directories with the "16#" part in ksh ...
any suggestions on how i can improve my code ... and can i make it work in bash and ksh esp bash ... i've seen posts like mine on the topic of hexadecimals but, ksh was the remedy.

cdscp add directory directory-name attribute-name = attribute-value ARGUMENTS
The full name of the directory. The name of a particular attribute. Specify only one attribute at a time. See the cds_attributes file for the list of attributes that your application uses. attribute-value The value of a particular attribute. The value of an application- defined attribute is dependent on the type of attribute. See the cds_attributes file for the list of attributes and corresponding data types that your application uses. If you enter a byte data type, you must enter an even number of digits in length. You can only enter pairs of hexadecimal values for user-defined attributes. DESCRIPTION
The add directory command adds a value to a modifiable, set-valued attribute (including application-defined attributes) of a directory. If the attribute does not exist, this command creates it. Usually, this task is performed through the client application. See the DCE Admin- istration Guide for more information about attributes. Privilege Required You must have write permission to the directory. NOTE
This command is replaced at Revision 1.1 by the dcecp command and may not be provided in future releases of DCE. EXAMPLE
To add the value ontario to the attribute myname of a directory named /.:/sales, read the cds_attributes file to verify that the attribute shown in the following display exists: OID LABEL SYNTAX 1.3.22.1.3.91 myname char Enter the following command to assign the value ontario to the attribute myname: cdscp> add directory /.:/sales myname = ontario RELATED INFORMATION
Commands: remove directory(1m), show directory(1m) Books: OSF DCE Administration Guide add directory(1m)
