In a string abuttal the trailing character "x" has a higher precedence
than other characters. Thus Rexx will always assume that a string
constant with an immediate trailing "x" will assumed to be a hex string.
This is the way it has always been.

Hi,
I don't know if this is a bug or programmer error. It is an
unexpected result for me. When I use the statement SAY I":"X I
expected the same results as when I use the statement SAY I":"L but
ooRexx thinks I'm trying to use a hex number. Am I not using Rexx
correctly?

REXX-ooRexx_4.1.1(MT) 6.03 7 Feb 2012
/usr/share/ooRexx/rexxtry.rex 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.
I=1;X=2; Say I":"X;
Oooops ! ... try again. Invalid hexadecimal or binary string
Only 0-9, a-f, A-F, and whitespace
characters are valid in a hexadecimal string; found ":"
rc = 15.3 .................. /usr/share/ooRexx/rexxtry.rex on MACOSX
I=1;L=2; Say I":"L
