  Panel fabzps12 shows a list of partitions, the user selects one.
  The key in aiding this selection decision is the 'partition hi k
  ey' value , which is displayed for each partition. Currently,
  only the character representation of the key is displayed, but
  for some keys,a hex display of this value would be better. the
  solution is to show both. the key is stored in the recons,but
  there is no information there indicating whether the user
  entered it in char or hex, so DBR will show both. there is a
  limitation to this solution. keys can be up to 255 chars.
  the TBDISPLAY function which displays each partition's keys
  has limits regarding the size of displayed fields. with these
  limitations and the goal to show both the char and hex keys,
  the size of the displayed keys is limited to 136 bytes, a
  text field on the panel will indicate if this truncation is
  in effect.
  

Problem conclusion

• There is a need to show both the char and hex keys in this panel
  The fact that keys can be 255 chars, and the fact that TBDISPLAY
  has limits regarding the size of displayed fields and lines per
  row dictates a limitation to our solution. The display will only
  show 136 bytes of a key, and a text field on the display will
  indicate if this truncation has occurred. Additionally, to make
  room for the larger keys displayed in the table, we removed
  some display lines from the top of the panel, lines that were
  not needed by the user to select a partition.
