S370FZDUw.d Informat

Reads unsigned zoned decimal data in IBM mainframe format.

Category:	Numeric
Interaction:	List input is incompatible with binary input when this informat is specified in an INFORMAT= statement or an ATTRIB= statement using the INFORMAT= argument. SAS issues a warning and uses formatted input to read the data.

Syntax

S370FZDUw.d

specifies the width of the input field.

Use S370FZDUw.d on other operating environments to read unsigned zoned decimal data from IBM mainframe files.

The S370FZDUw.d informat is similar to the S370FZDw.d informat except that the S370FZDUw.d informat rejects all sign digits except F.
The S370FZDUw.d informat is equivalent to the COBOL notation PIC 9(n) DISPLAY, where the n value is the number of digits.
