The display is divided into segments determined by each order. For non-3270 terminal test streams, the Field and Hex display is divided into 40-byte segments.

Edit this screen as follows:

• Change the data under the ruler by overtyping it
• Change the length of the data by overtyping the Data Length field. CA Verify for CICS will either truncate the data or pad it with blanks to the specified length.

The following rules apply:

• The row, column, or attribute of a field cannot be changed in Field format; use Hex format to make changes.
• Invalid 3270 characters cannot be changed in Field format; use Hex format to change them.
• Input screens which contain non-display (dark) fields and which were captured when the installation option DRKPROT=YES was in effect can be edited only in Field format.

A sample screen in Hex format appears next.

The display is divided into segments determined by each order. For non-3270 terminal test streams, the display is divided into 40-byte segments.

Edit this screen as follows:

• Change the data, including orders, by overtyping it
• Change the length of the data by overtyping the Length field. CA Verify for CICS will either truncate the data or pad it with blanks to the specified length.
• Change invalid 3270 characters in either of the hex lines, but not in the character line

The following rules apply:

• The offset cannot be changed.
• Erased characters in the character line are replaced with blanks; erased characters in hex lines are restored to their original values.
• Changes in either hex line take precedence over changes in the character line, except when a character has been changed in the character line and its corresponding hex representation has been erased in one or both of the hex lines. In this case, the character change takes precedence.
• For a 3270 test stream, if you enter an order or modify existing data so that it becomes an order, the existing field will be split at the new order when the screen is refreshed.
• Input screens which contain non-display (dark) fields and which were captured when the installation option DRKPROT=YES was in effect can only be edited in Field format.
