HEX
Displays the contents of a file, record by record, as character code
numbers in hexadecimal form.
Syntax
[ {CHAR }]
;HEX [;{CLEAR}] [;NORECNUM] [;TITLE=title]
[ {KANA }]
Where:
CHAR Displays character symbols in ASCII code. Refer to
the CHAR description in this chapter.
CLEAR Displays all character symbols. Refer to the CLEAR
description in this chapter.
KANA Displays JIS character symbols. Refer to the KANA
description in this chapter.
NORECNUM Omits file identification information, record
numbers, and word offset numbers.
title Is a character string to be used as the title of
the display. If the tofile is a printer, the title
is printed at the top of each page. Otherwise, the
title is written only once, at the beginning of the
tofile. The title may contain up to 62 characters,
but may not be broken to be continued on the
following line.
File Attributes
The fromfile must have read access, and the tofile must have write
access. The tofile is normally a list device such as $STDLIST, but it
can also be another device for intermediate storage. The record size for
an intermediate storage device should be the same as that of the list
device that will ultimately print the data, and must be equal to or
greater than 60 bytes.
Operation
You can combine the HEX function with the CHAR, CLEAR, or KANA functions,
one at a time, to display character symbols as well as numerical codes.
The tofile can be a printer, terminal, or an intermediate disk file. If
the tofile is a disk file, it must be at least 60 bytes in length.
Example
In the example below, the file TEXT3.PUB.ACCOUNT is an ASCII file created
by using EDIT/3000. The hexadecimal word number at the beginning of each
line of data specifies the sequential number within the record of the
first word of data in the line.
The example displays the file TEXT3 in both hexadecimal and character
format. Since it does not specify a language for the CHAR function,
FCOPY uses the default, NATIVE-3000. (Refer to the CHAR description in
this chapter.) FCOPY prints the title line described by the title
parameter.
