Displaying Fields as Hexadecimal Values

You can use the EVAL debug command to display the value of fields in hexadecimal format. To display a variable in hexadecimal format, type:

EVAL field-name: x number-of-bytes

on the debug command line. The variable field-name is the name of the field that you want to display in hexadecimal format. 'x' specifies that the field is to be displayed in hexadecimal format. The variable number-of-bytes indicates the number of bytes displayed. If no length is specified after the 'x', the size of the field is used as the length. A minimum of 16 bytes is always displayed. If the length of the field is less than 16 bytes, then the remaining space is filled with zeroes until the 16 byte boundary is reached.

For example, the field String is defined as six-character string. To find out the hexadecimal equivalent of the first 3 characters, you would enter:

EVAL String: x 3
   Result:
   00000     C1C2C3.. ........ ........ ........   - ABC.............
