In RPG, you can initialize a constant or create a literal with syntax like
H'03271A2000'. The tricky part is getting the ASCII character codes correct. If
you have Vernon Buerg's LIST utility, an easy trick is to type the command with
an editor like Notepad, view it in hex with LIST and then copy/paste the hex
into SEU.
