THE

SET HEX - set how hexadecimal strings are treated in string operands

Syntax:
[SET] HEX ON|OFF

Description:
The SET HEX set command determines whether hexadecimal strings are treated as such in string operands.

With the ON option, any string operand of the form /x '31 32 33' / or /d '49 50 51' / will be converted to /123/ before the command is executed.

With the OFF option, no conversion is done.

This conversion should work wherever a string operand is used in any command.

Compatibility:
XEDIT: Adds support for decimal representation. See below.
KEDIT: Compatible. See below.
Spaces must seperate each character representation.

Default:
OFF

Status:
Complete.
