FCOPY Reference Manual

HEXO 

Displays the contents of a file, record by record, in the form of
character code numbers.  The data is in hexadecimal form and the record
number is in octal form.

Syntax 

      [ {CHAR }]
;HEXO [;{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 HEXO 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, file TEXT3.PUB.ACCOUNT is an ASCII file created by
using EDIT/3000.  The octal 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.  Because 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 as it appears in the title
parameter.
