APAR status

  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • While in View or Edit in FM/DB2, entering the HEX primary key
    does not change the display from character to hex format.  An
    error message prompting for the ON or OFF keyword should be
    displayed.
    

Local fix

  • Enter HEX ON or HEX OFF.
    

Problem summary

  • ****************************************************************
    * USERS AFFECTED: All File Manager users.                      *
    ****************************************************************
    * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: In the editor, issuing the 'HEX' editor *
    *                      primary command is allowed, but results *
    *                      in a "no operation".                    *
    ****************************************************************
    * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the provided PTF.                      *
    ****************************************************************
    The documentation indicates that the 'HEX' editor primary
    command requires a single parameter (ON|OFF).  Therefore 'HEX'
    without parameters should be dis-allowed.
    

Problem conclusion

  • The File Manager editor has been changed to support 'HEX' being
    issued without parameters - the effect is to reverse the current
    HEX-display status.
