That's not correct, the next command shows the data in hexadecimal and
character mode :
%!xxd
That requires the xxd executable, which is not supplied with AIX. It's
normally installed as part of the vim distribution; vim is a fine
enhanced vi, but it isn't standard on AIX.
Standard vi does not include a feature for viewing data in hexadecimal.
Is there any other way to view the HEX equivalent in AIX.
Yes, that's what the od command can do for you.
And that *is* part of AIX. It can even be used as a filter in standard
vi, though it's irreversible unless you undo the change without making
any intervening changes.
