asm/endasm DEFB not accepting 0xFE or FEh instead of 254 - nitrofurano - 10-06-2011

hi!
i always had some idea that z80 assemblers accepts byte values in hexadecimal format, instead of only decimals - i'm i wrong, or is this zxbasic compiling missing this feature? (or can we suggest this feature?)

Code:

The 0xNNN format is not allowed. Use $NNN format or NNNh format.
E.g.
Code:
$C9 <-- Allowed
1Fh <-- Allowed
FFh <-- Error. "FFh" is an identifier. Prefix with "0"
0FFh <-- Ok. Now allowed.
0xC9 <-- Not allowed
