Reads zoned decimal separate trailing-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 S370FZDTw.d on other operating environments to read zoned decimal
data
from IBM mainframe files.
-
Zoned decimal separate trailing-sign data are
similar to zoned decimal separate leading-sign data except that the sign of
the value is stored in the last byte of zoned decimal separate trailing-sign
data.
-
The S370FZDTw.d informat is equivalent to the COBOL notation PIC
S9(n) DISPLAY SIGN TRAILING SEPARATE, where the n value is the number of
digits.

The data line contains a hexadecimal representation
of a binary number that is 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. |
