Safeguarding the past, present and future of RISC OS for everyone

*Configure DumpFormat

This *Command sets the configured format used by the *Dump, *List and *Type commands.

*Configure DumpFormat n

n	Number from 0 – 15. Bottom two bits define how control character codes are displayed:
	0 = GSTrans format (eg \|A for ASCII 1)
	1 = Full stop ‘.’
	2 = <d>, where d is a decimal number
	3 = <&h>, where h is a hexadecimal number

If bit 2 is set, characters that have their top bit set are treated as printable, otherwise they treated as control characters.

If bit 3 is set, characters which have their top bit set are ANDed with &7F before processing so the top bit is no longer set.

The default value is 4.

The change takes effect immediately.
