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

   ;HEXO [;{CHAR

            CLEAR

            KANA}] [;NORECNUM] [;TITLE=title]

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.

   >FROM=TEXT3;TO=*LP;HEXO;CHAR;&
