If you are just trying to view it and it won't fit in XEDIT try one or more of:
- BROWSE fn ft fm - BROWSE has HEX ON|OFF|CHAR - SHOW fn ft fm - SHOW has HEXMODE and HEXTYPE commands, and I can offer a HEXVIEW XEDIT file (based on Will Roden's work) will display hex data vertically like ISPF - PIPE < fn ft fm | BROWSE - but no hex viewing unless you add stage(s) for that or, if your paging system can handle it... - CP DEFINE STOR 16E, then IPL CMS and XEDIT the file - of course you'd need to change the directory entry to set their machine size that high. And... you won't get an actual 16E of storage even in current z9's. The actual storage will be reduced to the maximum your hardware can support. But cool to try, anyway.
