In REXX, a decimal number *IS* a string. The semantics for the first parameter of STORAGE is the same on every REXX implementation that I have used.
For hexadecimal arithmetic, try something like FOO = D2X ( X2D(BAR) + X2D(BAZ) ) -- Shmuel (Seymour J.)

But unexpected since 10+0 should have been passed as a decimal number and not a string ... maybe this is IBM REXX v ooREXX ... don't know... 10+4 is 14 decimal and storage treated it as 14 hex just not the behavior I have seen with other REXX implementations... more experimenting ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
