The statement code H activates hexadecimal mode for the selected record only (see section “Hexadecimal mode”) and sets all the screen lines that belong to this record to overwritable.
Statement code | Key |
H | [DUE] or [F2] |
If the screen window (when the screen is split) is too small to display the data line with all its hex lines then the statement code is rejected with the message EDT2404.
If necessary, and possible, the data window is repositioned in a way that permits the display of the hex lines.
The hex lines are not displayed when the screen is reconstructed after being sent unless the statement code H is entered in the statement code column again. However, for this to be possible the data window and the statement code column must first have been set to overwritable with @PAR EDIT-FULL=ON.
Example
The data in the example is coded in UTF8.
Only line 3.00 is to be displayed in hexadecimal mode. This is achieved by specifying H in the statement code column.
