You are better off using lats4d.sh in a shell script for this; see attached.

PS: On linux/unix/mac os x, enter "bash convert.sh"
      On windows, enter "bash convert.sh"; also make sure lats4d.sh is
      on your path.

#!/bin/bash
# Converts 99 files to hdf4 using lats4d.sh.
maxcount=99
count=1
while [ $count -le $maxcount ]; do
   printf -v cmd "lats4d.sh -i test%02d.ctl -format hdf4 -o hdf/test%02d"
$count $count
   $cmd
   count=$[$count+1]
done
