Reads zoned decimal separate 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 S370FZDSw.d on other operating environments to read zoned decimal
data
from IBM mainframe files.
-
Zoned decimal separate 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, and the first digit
of the value is stored in the second byte.
-
The S370FZDSw.d informat is equivalent to the COBOL
notation PIC S9(n) DISPLAY SIGN LEADING 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. |
