unsigned vs, unsigned long
Code mixes use of unsigned and unsigned long as if they are of the 32-bit size.
In 2020, 16-bit unsigned is commonly found in embedded processors and 64-bit unsigned long in 64-bit processors.
Do not assume unsigned, unsigned long size/range other than they are at least 16, 32 bits.

It's been a long time since I've heard the terms BCD or Binary Coded Decimal. Keep in mind that BCD was primarily a hardware encoding of integers provided by one particular manufacturer of main frame computers. There were computer performance issues when using BCD.
The best way to implement a BCD number would be an array of 4 bit integer values.

Since command line arguments are null-terminated, we can avoid strlen() entirely by just running through the string until we hit '\0'; this also gets rid of contin and i
(*p > 0x2F && *p < 0x3A) isn't very obvious, I'd just use '0' and '9' to make it easier to understand the intention and to be consistent with the rest of the code
