Syntax Description

w

specifies the width of the output field.

Default:	8
Range:	2-32

d

optionally specifies to multiply the number by 10^d.

Details

Use S370FZDTw.d in other operating environments to write zoned decimal separate trailing-sign data in the same format as on an IBM mainframe computer.

Comparisons

The S370FZDTw.d format is similar to the S370FZDSw.d format except that the S370FZDTw.d format displays the sign of the number at the end of the formatted output.
The S370FZDTw.d format is equivalent to the COBOL notation PIC S9(n) DISPLAY SIGN TRAILING SEPARATE, where the n value is the number of digits.

Examples

y=put (x,s370fzdt4.); ;
put y $hex8.;

Values Results*

123

F1F2F34E

-123

F1F2F360

*The result is a hexadecimal representation of a binary number in zoned decimal format on an IBM mainframe computer. Each two hexadecimal digits correspond to one byte of binary data, and each byte corresponds to one column of the output field.
