Hexadecimal Numbers

[NewsArchive]

I was looking over Common Definitions.sbi and saw several constants set to
numeric values followed by the letter L. It appears that this is how SB
indicates hex numbers, am I correct? I couldn't find anything about it in the
manual or online help.

If so, can they be compared directly with a decimal (base 10) integer with the same value?

Only constants support hex numbers. For example:

Set Variable %TEST% to "$VER_SUITE_BLADE$"

$VER_SUITE_BLADE$ is 400L. %TEST% value is 1024.
