Establishes the radix for the entry and display of integer data. When used with /OVERRIDE, it causes all data to be displayed as integer data of the specified radix. Format SET RADIX radix
1 – Parameters
radix Specifies the radix to be established. Valid keywords are as follows: BINARY Sets the radix to binary. DECIMAL Sets the radix to decimal. This is the default for all languages except BLISS, MACRO-32, and MACRO-64 (Alpha and Integrity servers only). DEFAULT Sets the radix to the language default. OCTAL Sets the radix to octal. HEXADECIMAL Sets the default radix to hexadecimal. This is the default for BLISS, MACRO-32, and MACRO-64 (Alpha and Integrity servers only).
2 – Qualifiers
2.1 /INPUT
Sets only the input radix (the radix for entering integer data) to the specified radix.
2.2 /OUTPUT
Sets only the output radix (the radix for displaying integer data) to the specified radix.
2.3 /OVERRIDE
Causes all data to be displayed as integer data of the specified radix.
3 – Description
The current radix setting influences how the debugger interprets and displays integer data in the following contexts: o Integer data that you specify in address expressions or language expressions. o Integer data that is displayed by the EXAMINE and EVALUATE commands. The default radix for both data entry and display is decimal for most languages. The exceptions are BLISS and MACRO, which have a default radix of hexadecimal. The SET RADIX command enables you to specify a new radix for data entry or display (the input radix and output radix, respectively). If you do not specify a qualifier, the SET RADIX command changes both the input and output radix. If you specify /INPUT or /OUTPUT, the command changes the input or output radix, respectively. Using SET RADIX/OVERRIDE changes only the output radix but causes all data (not just data that has an integer type) to be displayed as integer data of the specified radix. Except when used with /OVERRIDE, the SET RADIX command does not affect the interpretation or display of noninteger values (such as real or enumeration type values). The EVALUATE, EXAMINE, and DEPOSIT commands have radix qualifiers (/BINARY, /HEXADECIMAL, and so on) which enable you to override, for the duration of that command, any radix previously established with SET RADIX or SET RADIX/OVERRIDE. You can also use the built-in symbols %BIN, %DEC, %HEX, and %OCT in address expressions and language expressions to specify that an integer literal should be interpreted in binary, decimal, hexadecimal, or octal radix.

4 – Examples
1.DBG> SET RADIX HEX This command sets the radix to hexadecimal. This means that, by default, integer data is interpreted and displayed in hexadecimal radix. 2.DBG> SET RADIX/INPUT OCT This command sets the radix for input to octal. This means that, by default, integer data that is entered is interpreted in octal radix. 3.DBG> SET RADIX/OUTPUT BIN This command sets the radix for output to binary. This means that, by default, integer data is displayed in binary radix. 4.DBG> SET RADIX/OVERRIDE DECIMAL This command sets the override radix to decimal. This means that, by default, all data (not just data that has an integer type) is displayed as decimal integer data.
