The Display Hex command  provides an interactive display where  you can
perform the following:

  **   Convert  a  binary  value   (e.g.    0000A135)  to  the  decimal
       equivalent.   This  includes negative  binary values  for 4 byte
       binary values.

  **   Convert a decimal value to  the 4 byte binary equivalent.   This
       includes negative decimal values.

  **   Convert  to  and  from  8  byte  binary  values  (only  positive
       numbers).

  **   Convert  a EBCDIC  value of  20 bytes  to the  corresponding hex
       value.

  **   Convert a  hex value  of 40  bytes to  the corresponding  EBCDIC
       value.

  **   Convert K,M,G,B type of bytes to a decimal value.

  **   Access a display that shows the bit settings for A-F.

  **   Access a series  of displays that show the  decimal values 0-255
       and  the equivalent  hex value, US  EBCDIC character,  and ASCII
       character.

  **   Access a display that shows the 'Powers of 2' to the 54th.

  **   Access a  display that  shows  the 'Prime  numbers' up  to  255.
       These can be helpful in developing randomizing techniques.

The command has no parameters:

Command parameters                                    *CMD
------------------

None.

Restrictions
------------

The command can only be used in an interactive environment.

When converting from  binary to decimal,  only binary values  that will
produce  a  9 digit  decimal  value  (plus or  minus)  or  less may  be
converted.

Prerequisites
-------------

The following TAA Tools must be on your system:

     CVTBIN8         Convert from binary 8
     CVTTOBIN8       Convert to binary 8
     DSPDEVCHR       Display device character
     HLRMVMSG        HLL Remove message
     RPGSTSDS        RPG status data structure
     SNDESCMSG       Send escape message

Implementation
--------------

None, the tool is ready to use.
