For me the usual suspect is ISPF Packed format. ISPF will automatically display data 'normally'. Other software not so much.

I browse a member of a PDS and it looks fine. But if I use SAS UNLOAD and that same member is showing tons of hex characters. IEBCOPY does not show any errors. Are there any FREEWARE PDS analysis tools? Or any ideas why a member might look normal in ISPF but with SAS Unload show lots of hex characters? Thanks..
