RE: IFS filename as hex?

[Roger Harman <roger.harman@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

For a one-timer, piping the ls output to od with the hex option is so easy.

Hi Justin

Depending on your OS level, you can use the IFS_OBJECT_STATISTICS table 
function and put the hex() function around the column that gives you the 
name. It's a 7.3 at least, has been around since April, 2020. Run SQL 
Statements should have an example, or Scott Forstie's gist, or or or - 
lots of Google hits.

You could maybe use ls, as another post suggests, redirecting the output 
to a physical file defined only with record length before you run ls. 
Then use hex() function, again, on that.

Maybe!!
