Displaying Disk Files
You display the contents of your files by copying them to your terminal.
FCOPY displays files in the following formats:
* Character.
* Octal.
* Hexadecimal.
ASCII Files
If you know that the file is an ASCII file, simply copy it to your
terminal by leaving TO empty. For example,
>FROM=ASCITEST;TO=
This is an ASCII file.
It contains two lines of text.
EOF FOUND IN FROMFILE AFTER RECORD 1
2 RECORDS PROCESSED * * * 0 ERRORS
Hexadecimal and Octal Codes
Use the CHAR and HEX, HEXO, or OCTAL functions to display both ASCII
characters and hexadecimal or octal codes. You might display a file in
both ASCII and octal, for example, when your terminal upshifts lowercase
characters. Combining octal with ASCII would let you compare octal
values and determine when characters are actually lowercase. The example
below displays both octal codes and ASCII characters. The numbers at the
end of each record are text editor line numbers that start at 1
(00001000):

Binary Files
To display the contents of a binary disk file at your terminal, do the
following:
1. Leave the TO parameter empty.
2. Use the HEX or OCTAL function to display the hexadecimal or octal
representation of the file's contents. Use the CHAR function to
display any ASCII characters that may exist.
For example, you might use the commands below to display a file on your
terminal.
>FROM=FOO;TO=;OCTAL;CHAR
FOO RECORD 0 (%0, #0)

The NORECNUM function can be used to suppress the display record numbers.
File Subsets
To display a subset of a file on your terminal, use the SUBSET function.
The example below copies a subset of five records (records 30 through 34)
from the file CUSTDATA to a terminal. CUSTDATA is an ASCII file
containing the names and addresses of customers.
