S370FFw.d

Syntax Description

w

specifies the width of the output field.

Default:	12
Range:	1-32

d

optionally specifies the power of 10 by which to divide the value.

Range:

0-31

Details

The S370FFw.d format writes numeric data in IBM mainframe format (EBCDIC). The EBCDIC numeric values are represented with one byte per digit. If EBCDIC is the native format, S370FFw.d performs no conversion.

If a value is negative, an EBCDIC minus sign precedes the value. A missing value is represented as a single EBCDIC period.

Comparisons

On an EBCDIC system, S370FFw.d behaves like the w.d format.

On all other systems, S370FFw.d performs the same role for numeric data that the $EBCDICw. format does for character data.

Examples

x=put(x,s370ff3.) 
put y $hex10.;
