Yes. Trying the following instruction might be informative:
say c2x( 10 ) c2x( '10' ) c2x( "10" )

The very brief section in the TSO/E Rexx User's Guide, "Using the STORAGE
Function"
would benefit from a *tested* example of using STORAGE() to follow a chain of
control
blocks. Such as:
P = STORAGE( addr, 4 )
NEXT = STORAGE( C2X( C2D( P ) + OFFSET ), 4 ) /* Untested! */
The comment, "be sure that the values for REXXSTRF is ENABLE" seems most
plausible.
