OCTAL
Displays the contents of a file, record by record, as character code
numbers in octal form.
Syntax
[ {CHAR }]
;OCTAL [;{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 from the display.
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 ultimately prints the data and must be greater than or equal to 60
bytes.
Operation
You can combine the OCTAL 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.
Examples
In the examples below, the 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 command below produces the following display on an 80-column line
printer:

The following example combines octal and character display.
>FROM=TEXT3;TO=*LP;OCTAL; CHAR; &
TITLE="EXAMPLE OF CHAR/OCTAL DISPLAY"
The command produces the following display. The 8-digit numbers at the
end of each record are text editor line numbers, starting at 1.
