  REXXTRY.CMD lets you interactively try REXX statements.
    Each string is executed when you hit Enter.
      Enter 'call tell' for a description of the features.
  Go on - try a few...             Enter 'exit' to end.

xvalue='0123'x
  ................................................ REXXTRY.CMD on OS/2

decvalue = x2d(c2x(xvalue))
  ................................................ REXXTRY.CMD on OS/2

say decvalue

291
  ................................................ REXXTRY.CMD on OS/2
