Click this to display the contents of the file.
Specify the number of the record where you want the display of the file contents to start. Defaults to 1.
Specify how many records you want to be displayed. Clear the 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: Do not set this to more than 10000. If you ask for all the records in a very large file to be displayed, your browser will take some time to display them all, and might run out of memory. If you have Net Express, we recommend starting ES Admin from the Tools menu in the Net Express IDE, instead of in a separate browser. Files are then displayed using the Data File Editor, which does not have this limitation.
Specify 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.
Check this if you want extra details to be included in the display of the file contents.
Specify the number of a different job from the one being displayed, then click this to go to the Details page for that job.
