Instead, I use RUNQRY - it, also, is always there, and it displays
everything as their value, not their hex representation.

But you missed a big advantage DSPPFM has over RUNQRY, which Joe
already pointed out: DSPPFM is very, very fast, and will show you ANY
record you choose (by RRN) almost instantly. RUNQRY has to load all
the records sequentially and cannot "jump" to a record. For some
files, RUNQRY is not a practical option.

Note that I am a big RUNQRY fan. I use it often enough that I made my
own little RQ command which wraps RUNQRY to my liking (accepts either
a file or a query as the first positional parameter, so I don't have
to type extra junk to specify a file; always opens the record
selection dialog; etc.). But it can't *completely* replace DSPPFM for
me.
