No error, clearly documented at [U] 12.2, Numbers. Technical note: Stata also allows numbers to be represented in a hexadecimal/binary format, defined as...
[+][-]1.{hexdigit}[hexdigits][X|x]{+|-}{hexdigit}[{hexdigits}]
"For instance, 1.0X+3 = 2^3 = 8. 1.8X+3 is 12 because 1.8_{16} is 1 + 8/16 = 1.5 in decimal form and the number is thus 1.5 x 2^3 = 1.5 x 8 = 12."
