Displaying Disk Files
Binary Files
To display the contents of a binary disk file at your terminal, do the following:
1. Leave the TO parameter empty.
2. Use the HEX or OCTAL function to display the hexadecimal or octal representation of the
file's contents. Use the CHAR function to display any ASCII characters that may exist.
For example, you might use the commands below to display a file on your terminal.
>FROM=FOO;TO=;OCTAL;CHAR
FOO RECORD 0 (%0, #0)
00000: 000000 000000 000000 044105 053514 042524 052055 050101 ......HEWLETT-PA

The NORECNUM function can be used to suppress the display record numbers.
File Subsets
To display a subset of a file on your terminal, use the SUBSET function. The example below
copies a subset of five records (records 30 through 34) from the file CUSTDATA to a terminal.
CUSTDATA is an ASCII file containing the names and addresses of customers.
