Use the LOC Field to Position the Display

The LOC field controls the position of the first displayed byte in the WORK AREA. The following table explains the values that you enter in the LOC field to control the position of the first displayed byte.

Important! To determine the location of any byte on the data display portion of the screen, add the number on the left end of the line (the number under the LOC field) to the number above the byte in the data display header (to the right of the FORMAT= field).
