DBG$HELP.HLB  —  DEBUG  SET  RADIX  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.
