specifies the width of the output field.

d

specifies to multiply the number by 10d. This argument is optional.
Positive integer binary values are the
same as integer binary values, except that all values are treated as positive.
S370FPIBw.d writes
integer binary values with consistent results if the values are created in
the same type of operating environment that you use to run SAS.
Use S370FPIBw.d to write positive integer binary
data in IBM mainframe format
from data that are created in other operating environments.
Note: Different operating environments store integer
binary values in different ways. This concept is called byte ordering. For
a detailed discussion about byte ordering, see
Byte Ordering for Integer Binary Data on Big Endian and Little Endian Platforms. ![[cautionend]](../../../../common/63294/HTML/default/images/cautend.gif)

If you use SAS on an IBM mainframe,
S370FPIBw.d and PIBw.d are identical.
-
The
S370FPIBw.d format is the same as the S370FIBw.d format except that the
S370FPIBw.d format treats all values as positive
values.
-
S370FPIBw.d, S370FIBUw.d,
and S370FIBw.d are
used to write big endian integers in any operating environment.
To view a table that shows the type of format to use
with big endian and little endian integers, see
SAS Formats and Byte Ordering.

*The result is a hexadecimal representation of a one-byte
binary number written in positive integer binary format, which occupies one
column of the output field.
