The VMSZNw.d informat is similar to the
ZDw.d informat. Both read a string of ASCII digits, and the last
digit is a special character denoting the magnitude of the last digit and
the sign of the entire number. The difference between the VMSZNw.d informat and the
ZDw.d informat is in the special
character used for the last digit. The following table shows the special characters
used by the VMSZNw.d
informat.
