Yes, because the two strings express the same number.

Try if (offset1 == offset2)

Using REXXTRY in OS/2 and typing statements in, I got this:
v1=0000e0
v2=0000e8
say v1=v2
==> 1
say v1==v2
==> 0
where a leading blank inidicates REXX code and ==> indicates output.

NO! Everything in REXX is a string. The behavior you see is due to the
particular values in your strings and to your choice of comparison
operators.
