Certainly not conducive to being typed (though thread IDs are that much
worse), but those PIDs are a lot easier to visualize in hex. So for example,
just now doing a
D OMVS,A=ALL
the PID list looks to be all over the map, but when you put the hex value of
the fullwords in another column, it suddenly looks less bizarre:

       1 00000001
16777218 01000002
16777219 01000003
       4 00000004
50331653 03000005
16777222 01000006
       7 00000007
16777224 01000008
       9 00000009
      11 0000000B
      12 0000000C
      13 0000000D
      14 0000000E
      15 0000000F
83886096 05000010
      18 00000012
16777235 01000013
      21 00000015
      22 00000016
      23 00000017
      24 00000018
      25 00000019
33554465 02000021
      42 0000002A

and so on.
