In the inline help for the command I have this at the end:

For <val> use 0x prefix for hex, 0 prefix for octal and no prefix for
decimal.

I gave a very detialed explaination to this in the USENET post link I
gave earlier:

Although I think I'll add an option to 'decb dump' to pretty print DECB
executable binary files.
