This corresponds to the following horizontal hexadecimal notation:

E3C2E2E3

Values not displayable in alphanumeric format are shown as question marks (?).

Depending on the selected function, the end of a 2 KB block is marked with EOB or the end of a report is marked with EOR.

At the top of the screen, general information is provided:

Field Description
Record Internal record number.
Occ. Current occurrence of a 2 KB block.
Status Current status of record.
St. Internal value for status.
Job No. Current job number of an active report.
Pre. Gr. Previous group number.
Next Gr. Next group number.
La.R.Gr. Last record in current group.
Pag.i.Gr. Current page number in group.
Pag.i.Re. Current page number in record.

When you press Enter, the next occurrence of the pointer is shown.
