Explanation

In REXX, a literal string followed immediately by the letter 'X' or 'x' (for example, 'C1'X) tells the interpreter to treat the contents of the string as a hexadecimal representation. The letters 'B' or 'b' represent binary strings. ASCII and EBCDIC strings are not specified by a trailing 'X'.
