Re: Packed data

If command line is available, use the command DSPPFM (Display Physical File 
Member) using F4 for prompt. After entering the different parameters, press F10 
(display hexadecimal).
If command line is NOT available, create a CL program that is called from a 
menu option, utilizing the command CPYF (Copy File) selection the parameter of 
*HEX for print format (OUTFMT) and then display the spool file to the user.

Does anyone know an easy way of displaying packed data held in a  flat file
at a workstation terminal?  I know the position of the packed information.
I've got this from the I-specs in the RPG program defining the record
layout. Both DBU and DSPPFM have yielded nothing more than a rectangle in
reverse image in postion 19 to 24 of the particular record I need.
