Storage Panel

Through both the entry panel and the pointer panel of the Browse option, you can request to display source data. (See Displaying the Dump Data and Specifying the Address of Storage.) In response to a storage display request, IPCS displays a storage panel similar to the one shown in Figure 1.

Figure 1. IPCS Storage Panel Browse Option Pointer Panel

The storage panel provides both a hexadecimal and a character representation of the source data. Each line of the storage display represents either 16 or 32 bytes of storage, depending on the size of the terminal display screen.

To display 16 bytes of data per line, the minimum line size on the terminal display must be less than 136.
To display 32 bytes of data per line, the minimum line size on the terminal display must be greater than or equal to 136.
The storage panel initially shows character data as EBCDIC text. Use the ASCII primary command to change that to show character data as ISO-8 ASCII characters. ASCII persists until the EBCDIC primary command restores the original interpretation.
