Using the FORMAT Clause

4. This example displays eight bytes of str in hexadecimal.

5. This example displays the first 33 (value of str^blen) bytes of str.

6. This example displays the first 10 words of struct^x in ASCII (note that “-” is the

ASCII equivalent of 45, which is the value of struct^x.i).

7. This example displays the first 45 (value of sstruct^x.i) bytes of struct^x.

Using the FORMAT Clause

The FORMAT clause directs Inspect to format a list of items using the operating

system formatter.

item [ , item ]

specifies the list of items you want to display.

-PROGRAM-DISPLAY str FOR 8 IN HEX

STR[0] = %H45 %H78 %H61 %H6D %H70 %H6C %H65 %H20

-PROGRAM-DISPLAY str FOR str^blen

STR[0] = "Example text number two"

-PROGRAM-DISPLAY struct^x FOR 10 WORDS IN ASCII

STRUCT^X = ?0 ?26 "This is example nu"

-PROGRAM-DISPLAY struct^x FOR struct^x.i BYTES

STRUCT^X = ?0 ?26 "This is example number o"
