REXX uses suffix characters to specify characters or strings using their hexadecimal or binary code. E.g.,
'20'x "0010 0000"b "00100000"ball yield the space character, avoiding the function call X2C(20).

Famous quotes containing the word strings:
“Met face to face, these Indians in their native woods looked like the sinister and slouching fellows whom you meet picking up strings and paper in the streets of a city. There is, in fact, a remarkable and unexpected resemblance between the degraded savage and the lowest classes in a great city. The one is no more a child of nature than the other. In the progress of degradation the distinction of races is soon lost.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
