There should be no confusion if you keep in mind that everything is a
string.

>X = 2 + "2"; 

You're adding 2 and 2; 2 and "2" are different ways of expressing the same

>Both converted to numerics!!

REXX recognizes the string 2 as being numeric; it doesn't matter how you
express it, just what the value is.
