3-Line Hex Display

At the top right corner of all display modes is a hex display toggle controlimage2021-8-18_12-49-34.png . By default, data is shown without hex, with one line displayed per record, row, segment, or field. However, when you click the hex display control, the display switches to show 3 lines of data per record/row/segment/field. This is referred to as 3-line hex display. The top line is the character as formatted and displayed without hex, and the two hex lines below it show the vertical EBCDIC hex value of each character.
The appearance of the hex display toggle control changes, with a border used to indicate that 3-line hex display mode is active. Hovering your cursor over the button will display a tool tip showing the current 3-line hex display status.

Important

3-line hex is disabled when working with distributed RDBMS data in Topaz Workbench.

File-AID Automatic Hex Entry Feature

When editing, you may click on a value in the hex lines to begin entering hex values. Only valid hex digits (0-9, A-F) are accepted for input. The cursor will automatically advance to the next hex digit in the data, automatically moving from the top hex digit to the bottom hex digit and then to the top hex digit of the next character. The current status of the Insert/Overwrite mode and the Insert key are ignored while editing hex. Overwrite is forced, and Inserting hex digits is not allowed. The cursor is forced to a blue blinking block indicating Overwrite mode.
