Change Data in the Work Area

Change FILE work areas by overtyping the hexadecimal or character data displayed on the screen with new data. Any number of bytes can be overwritten with any uppercase or lowercase character.

Note: If you overtype the same data in hexadecimal and character display fields, the hexadecimal change takes precedence.

You can also replace record data with fill characters, data from CORE, or data from the saved WORK AREA.
