Printing a single record

At times, you may want to print a single record. Instead of setting up your template and selection criteria to narrow your selected records down to the one you require, you can print individual records. To do this:

  1. Display your data in a Browse or Edit panel.
  2. Select your display format (SNGL, TABL, CHAR, HEX or LHEX).
  3. Scroll your data until the record that you want to print is at the top of the data area.
  4. Enter one of the following primary commands:
    • RD (“Record Dump”) - this prints the current record in dump format, with hexadecimal values under the record data.
    • RP ("Record Print") - this prints the current record. The format of the output from the RP command depends on the display format when you enter the RP command. While printing records in SNGL view, additional information (redefined fields, field reference number, field type and length values, picture clause, start location, structure) can be printed depending on the Edit/Browse options. Numeric fields can be left-justified depending on the options.

Examples

Here is an example of RD output when the display format is CHAR:
