My understanding of the OP's initial request was the ability to display a line
in hex from within an edit macro, which is probably doing a lot more than just
the hex display as it is very easy to do the HX on the line while in edit/view.
Unfortunately there are a very limited number of line command options while in
edit - unfortunately none of the enhanced edit line commands.
This was my solution (reposting for fun) which can then be included in the OP's
edit macro:
/* ---------------------- REXX ----------------------------- *
| ISPF Edit Macro to display the requested record in hex in |
| an infoline. (Note: no validation is performed) |
| |
| Syntax: EHEX line |
| |
| Where EHEX is the macro name (change as you wish) |
| line is a record number |
| |
| Sample: EHEX 4 |
* --------------------------------------------------------- */
Address ISREdit
'Macro (line)'
'(data) = line' line
hex = c2x(data)
parse value '' with hextop hexbot
do i = 1 to length(hex) by 2
hextop = hextop''substr(hex,i,1)
hexbot = hexbot''substr(hex,i+1,1)
end
'line_after' line '= infoline (hexbot)'
'line_after' line '= infoline (hextop)'

Subject: Re: ispf edit macro "HX" line command
Like I said I never used this line command, my syntax was not correct but a
quick check;
ISREDIT (CMD) = 'HX' should work -I've not tested
you need to have the cursor positioned to where you need first.
I have some examples that position the cursor and perform some tasks but none
that would help you here
the IBM doc would be helpful for review
