Hex
value:
The
last values entered for
HEX
input
are
displayed
to
the right
of
the colon. Legal
input values consist
of
one or more strings separated by one
or
more blanks. A legal
string has the following characteristics:
• Every
character
is
a valid hexadecimal digit
(0-9,
A-F)
• Contains 1
or
an even number
of
characters
Values entered
are
regarded as hexadecimal; therefore, the suffix H
is
an illegal
character. The values may be separated
by
one or more blanks.
The
following are examples
of
legal input values:
9
5A5B60
3456 65 78FO 8
98C8A 7
If
the input
is
legal, the equivalent characters are inserted
in
the text at the cursor
position.
Error.
"invalid hex value"
is
displayed if an illegal value
is
entered, and the editor
returns to main command level.
Output
Press O.
The
hexadecimal value
of
the
character
immediately to the right of
the
actual cursor
position
is
displayed on the message line. The count that preceded the
HEX
command
gives
the
number
of
bytes to be displayed
in
hexadecimal format.
Up
to
10
bytes
of
hexadecimal values can be displayed
in
the message line.
If
more bytes are to be
displayed, the message
"hit
space to continue"
is
displayed.
Press the space
bar
and the next
10
bytes
are
displayed. Any other key returns
AEDIT
-86
to
the
main command level.
