DUMP command

Displays the contents of a file, or the current record, in hexadecimal, ASCII, and EBCDIC character encodings.

Syntax

DUMP {RECORD|file_name} <SKIP bytes> <COLUMN bytes> <HORIZONTAL>

Parameters

Name	Description
RECORD	Displays the contents of the selected record. Required if you do not specify a file_name.
file_name	The name of the file you want to display. Required if you do not specify RECORD. Note To display the character encodings for an Analytics table you must specify the name of the source data file and the file extension. For example: Ap_Trans.fil
SKIP bytes optional	The number of bytes to bypass before the dump begins. The default is 0.
COLUMN bytes optional	In the output, the width of the columns in bytes. Note The number specified by bytes refers to the bytes contained by the Analytics record or table. The encoded characters in the output may not have a one-to-one relation with the characters in the view. For example, the hexadecimal encoding for the number 1 is 31. The default is 16 bytes for each column in a vertical display, and 64 bytes for the single column in a horizontal display. The maximum number of bytes you can specify is 255.
HORIZONTAL optional	Displays the character encodings in horizontal rows rather than in side-by-side vertical blocks (the default).
