Specify how many records you want to be displayed. Clear the for field to view all the records in a file. Defaults to 10000. If there were more records than you requested, the final line in the listing warns you that the output was curtailed.

Note: If you ask for all the records to be displayed in a very large file, your browser will take some time to display all the records, and might run out of memory.

Top

Codeset (for display)

Choose the codeset in which you want the contents to be displayed. Defaults to ASCII.

If you select Both, the system tries to display the contents without regard to the codeset used. For example, the strings x'41424344' and x'a1a2a3a4' are both displayed as "ABCD". You might find this of use if you are not sure what codeset was used to create the file.

The value 'Dump' gives you a hexadecimal dump of the file.
