With SAS, try

DATA _NULL_;
INFILE WHATEVER;
INPUT;
LIST;
IF _N_ GT 50 THEN STOP;

and you'll get a nice hex dump with bytes vertically arranged and the
EBCDIC character interpreted above each byte - mucho better IMO than
having hex at left and text at the right.

Type 3 and type 4 are the original open source. They were "field developed 
programs." My recolle tion is that 3s were written by ibm field people and 4s 
were written by customers.

Subject: old LISTUTIL program 

I'm looking for an old IBM Type III or IV program for OS/360 named LISTUTIL, 
which is described in a bitsavers.org copy of the 1971 manual "Catalog of 
Programs for IBM System 360". The Type III and IV programs are described as 
"for unrestricted distribution". Basically LISTUTIL printed a data set, or 
portions thereof, in hex. With that modest function, it possibly still works on 
modern systems, which means some shops might still use it.

I don't recall the exact layout it used, and I'm curious to see it again.  When 
I worked on an OS/MVT system a long time ago, it was widely used by the 
programmers. I don't recall the exact layout it used, and I'm curious to see it 
again if possible. I've looked at the CBTTAPE site, and did not find it there. 
If anyone has a copy of LISTUTIL,  in source or load module, would you consider 
contributing it to the CBT Tape or sending me a copy? Even if you just have a 
page of sample output that you could share with me, I would like to see it.
