To add up a few more points which will be of help.....

Open up a dataset and put HEX ON , you will see the
following results assuming the variable occupies 4 bytes of
space:

low values 00000
00000

high values FFFF
FFFF

spaces 4444
0000

display item numbers FFFFFFFFFF
0123456789

characters A - Z will be of the following form:
C1-C9 will represent A-I,D1-D9 will represent J-R,E2-E9
will represent S-Z

comp-3 ...for example if number is positive 5893.
0083
059C

for negative last character will be D.

For comp it is converted into its hexadecimal equivalent.
