Writes unsigned zoned decimal data in IBM mainframe format.

Category:	Numeric
Alignment:	left

Syntax

S370FZDUw.d

w

specifies the width of the output field.

Default:	8
Range:	1-32

d

specifies to multiply the number by 10^d. This argument is optional.

Default:	0
Range:	0-31

Use S370FZDUw.d in other operating environments to write unsigned zoned decimal data in the same format as on an IBM mainframe computer.

The S370FZDUw.d format is similar to the S370FZDw.d format except that the S370FZDUw.d format always uses the absolute value of the number.
The S370FZDUw.d format is equivalent to the COBOL notation PIC 9(n) DISPLAY, where the n value is the number of digits.

y=put (x,s370fzdu3.);
put y $hex6.;

Value of x	Results*
123	F1F2F3
-123	F1F2F3
* The result is a hexadecimal representation of a binary number in zoned decimal format on an IBM mainframe computer. Each pair of hexadecimal characters (such as F1) corresponds to one byte of binary data, and each byte corresponds to one column of the output field.
