Reads zoned decimal leading-sign data in IBM mainframe
format.
-
w
-
specifies the width of the input field.
-
d
-
specifies the power of 10 by which to divide
the value. This argument is optional.
Use S370FZDLw.d on other operating environments to read zoned decimal
data
from IBM mainframe files.
-
Zoned decimal leading-sign data is similar to
standard zoned decimal data except that the sign of the value is stored in
the first byte of zoned decimal leading-sign data, along with the first digit.
-
The S370FZDLw.d
informat is equivalent to the COBOL notation PIC S9(n) DISPLAY SIGN LEADING, where the n
value is the number of digits.

The data lines contain a hexadecimal representation
of a binary number stored in zoned decimal format on an IBM mainframe operating
environment. Each two hexadecimal characters correspond to one byte of binary
data, and each byte corresponds to one column of the input field. |
