The parameters that actually appear when the parm command is issued depends on the current configuration. Each parameter has a natural format, either decimal or hexadecimal. Always check the value of a parameter before setting it to see what format it uses. Also always check the value of a parameter after setting it, to verify it was set in the proper format.
