@Gil, the below would imply it is "non-print" data rather than true hex data.
And @Itschak I don't of course grasp all of the ramifications of the problem you are trying to solve, but I would say program source code should be generally printable, displayable characters. Anything else is asking for trouble. I don't grasp the exact problem you are trying to solve, but I have to think there must be a better solution. For example, would it make sense to put this binary data in a separate file of its own, and read it in when needed?

I thought marking a block of data as comment and access it some how. May be a function like source,in May do it. Will check this later. Any other idea how to access the commented block of data? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
