This article describes the Data View dialogs.

When you double-click a variable that is not a group item, one of the following dialogs opens:

Data View Value dialog (if the variable is not an array)

Data View Value Dialog

The Data View Value dialog lets you modify either the display value or the hex value for a field. You can toggle back and forth using the options on this dialog to specify which version of the data you want to modify. Clicking OK saves the data. If there are no errors, the field is updated on the mainframe, and to any other Data views that contain this value. This dialog also displays additional information on the properties of the modified variable.
