"BTW, somebody correct me if I'm wrong on calling X'057F' a hexadecimal
representation. It's really a split-byte representation. I.e. decimal 57
converts to hexadecimal 39."
It's a hexadecimal representation of a string, but not exactly a hex
representation of the number. Probably the most accurate description
is that it is a hexadecimal representation of a string containing a
packed binary-coded decimal number.
