Other Ways of Changing Storage

Full‑screen edit provides an alternate method of changing storage. It enables you to change any displayed data by overtyping the hexadecimal or character portions of displayed data with new data. Overwrite any number of displayed bytes whenever the bytes are contiguous or separate.

• Overtype hexadecimal display fields with the characters A‑F and 0‑9.
• Overtype character fields with any character.
• If you overtype the same data on both the hexadecimal and character display fields, the change made in the character field is done first.
• When overtyping the character portion, the data is accepted as entered or converted to uppercase, depending on which mode the CORE transaction is in.
• Uppercase translation occurs when the PF9 key says Caps Off. No translation occurs when it says Caps On. To change the mode, press the PF9 key before entering any data.
• If you enter commands together with changes, the changes are made before the commands are executed.
