Edit codes for either character or binary data
You can use several edit codes to format either binary or character data.
- X
- Formats data as a series of hexadecimal characters.
- XW
- Formats data as a series of hexadecimal characters; wraps the data, breaking lines at the column boundary.
- B
- Formats data in binary format (as a series of zeroes and ones).
- BW
- Formats data in binary format; wraps the data, breaking lines at the column boundary.
- C
- Formats data in binary format.
- CW
- Formats data in binary format.
When you use edit codes XW or BW, column wrapping is only performed when tabular data is displayed or printed. A reference to &n in a text line only displays the first line of the wrapped data.
To enable wrapping for BLOB data, you can use the XW or BW edit code.
