| You just DISPLAY/WRITE each byte, one-at-a-time. |

| There is no short-cut function of doing it in COBOL, AFAIK; you've to write a bit of code, as Bill has indicated to. Said that, have you tried something and it did not work? |

You want to see the output in the spool but you don't want to use WRITE or DISPLAY?
Other than going back to pre-Cobol II and using EXHIBIT, I don't know. Write and CALL an Assembler program? C/C++? FORTRAN? PL/I?
Why would you not want to use WRITE or DISPLAY? |

What on earth do you want? COBOL allows you to WRITE to produce output to spool or a file, and DISPLAY to produce output to spool, and that is it -- there is no secret COBOL verb to output data a different way.
