data formatsFormat
|
Description |
---|
CH |
(character EBCDIC, unsigned). Each
character is represented by its 8-bit EBCDIC code. Example: AB7 becomes
C1 C2 F7 Hexadecimal
11000001 11000010 11110111 Binary
Note: - If CHALT is in effect, a format CH field collates according to
the ALTSEQ (alternate collating sequence) table in effect. AQ format
can be used for the same purpose.
- If locale processing is in effect, a format CH field collates
according to the collating rules of the active locale.
|
ZD |
(zoned decimal, signed). Each digit
of the decimal number is converted into its 8-bit EBCDIC representation.
The sign indicator replaces the first four bits of the low order
byte of the number. Example: -247 becomes
2 4 - 7 Decimal
F2 F4 D7 Hexadecimal
11110010 11110100 11010111 Binary
The number +247 becomes
F2 F4 C7
11110010 11110100 11000111
Note: - The following are treated as positive sign indicators: F, E, C,
A, 8, 6, 4, 2, 0.
- The following are treated as negative sign indicators: D, B, 9,
7, 5, 3, 1.
- For SUM processing, 0 through 9 for the sign or A through F for
a digit results in a data exception (0C7 ABEND). For example,
a ZD value such as 3.5 (X'F34BF5') results in an 0C7 because
B is treated as an invalid digit. ICETOOL's DISPLAY or VERIFY
operator can be used to identify ZD values with invalid digits.
ICETOOL's VERIFY operator can be used to identify ZD values with
invalid signs.
- The first four bits of the last digit is the sign indicator. The
first four bits of each other digit is ignored. Thus the EBCDIC
strings '0025' and ' 25' are both treated as 25 because
a leading blank (X'40') is equivalent to a 0 digit (X'F0').
|
PD |
(packed decimal, signed). Each digit
of the decimal number is converted into its 4-bit binary equivalent.
The sign indicator is put into the rightmost four bits of the number. Example: -247 becomes
2 4 7- Decimal
2 4 7D Hexadecimal
00100100 01111101 Binary
The number +247 becomes 247C in hexadecimal.
Note: - The following are treated as positive sign indicators: F, E, C,
A, 8, 6, 4, 2, 0.
- The following are treated as negative sign indicators: D, B, 9,
7, 5, 3, 1.
- For SUM processing, 0 through 9 for the sign or A through F for
a digit results in a data exception (0C7 ABEND). For example,
a PD value such as X' 0123BF' results in an 0C7 because
B is treated as an invalid digit. ICETOOL's DISPLAY or VERIFY
operator can be used to identify PD values with invalid digits.
ICETOOL's VERIFY operator can be used to identify PD values with
invalid signs.
|
PD0 |
(packed decimal, with sign and first
digit ignored) The PD0 format can be represented as follows: xddd...ds
x is hexadecimal 0-F and is ignored.
d is hexadecimal 0-9 and represents a decimal digit.
s is hexadecimal 0-F and is ignored.
PD0 can be used for
parts of PD fields. For example, in the PD field P'mmddyy' (hexadecimal
0mmddyyC), PD0 can be used separately for 0mmd (mm), mddy (dd) and
dyyC (yy).
|
FI |
(fixed-point, signed).
The complete number is represented by its binary equivalent with the
sign indicator placed in the most significant bit position. 0 for
+ or 1 for -. Negative numbers are in 2's complement form.Example: +247 becomes in halfword form
00F7 Hexadecimal
0000000011110111 Binary
-247 becomes in halfword form
FF09 Hexadecimal
1111111100001001 Binary
|
BI |
(binary unsigned). Any bit pattern. |
FL |
( hexadecimal floating-point,
signed). The specified number is in the two-part format of characteristic
and fraction with the sign indicator in bit position 0. Example: +247 becomes
42F70000... Hexadecimal
0 1000010 111101110000000....... Binary
+ chara. Fraction
-247 is identical, except that the sign bit is changed to 1.
C2F70000... Hexadecimal
1 1000010 111101110000000....... Binary
- chara. Fraction
|
AQ |
(character EBCDIC, with alternate
collating sequence, unsigned). This is similar to format CH, but
the characters collate according to the ALTSEQ (alternate collating
sequence) table in effect. |
AC |
(character EBCDIC,
with ASCII collating sequence, unsigned). This is similar to format
CH, but the characters collate according to the ASCII collating sequence. |
D1 |
(EFS type). User-defined data
type (requires an EFS program)
|
D2 |
(EFS type). User-defined data
type (requires an EFS program)
|
CSF or FS |
(signed numeric with optional leading
floating sign). The floating sign format can be represented as
follows: <s>d . . .d
s is an optional sign
immediately to the left of the digits d . . .d. If s is a -,
the number is treated as negative, otherwise it is treated as positive.
Thus, - must be used for a minus sign, but any other character
(for example, + or blank) can be used for a plus sign. The first non-decimal
digit (that is, not 0-9) going from right to left is treated as the
sign and anything to the left of the sign is ignored. Examples:
Value: Treated as:
34 +34
+34 +34
00034 +34
-003 -3
--1234 -1234
1234 +1234
+01234 +1234
0 +0
The types of data handled by the
CSF or FS format encompass those produced by several different FORTRAN,
PL/I and COBOL formats, such as those shown below (using a width of
4 for purposes of illustration): * FORTRAN: I4 ; G4.0 ; SP,I4 ; SP,I4.3 ; S,I4.3
* PL/I: F(4) ; P'S999' ; P'SSS9' ; P'---9'
* COBOL: PIC ++9 ; PIC +999 ; PIC ++++ ; PIC ---9 ; PIC ---- ; PIC ZZZZ
|
UFF |
(unsigned free form numeric). This
format extracts decimal digits (0-9) from right to left anywhere in
the field to form a positive number. Any combination of characters
is valid, but characters other than 0-9 are ignored.
Examples: Value: Treated as:
$58,272,300.10 +5827230010
$58,272,300.1 +582723001
$58,272,300 +58272300

SFF |
(signed free form numeric). This
format extracts decimal digits (0-9) from right to left anywhere in
the field to form a positive or negative number. If - or ) is found
anywhere in the field, the number is treated as negative, otherwise
it is treated as positive. Any combination of characters is valid,
but characters other than 0-9, - and ) are ignored.
Examples: Value: Treated as:
358,272,300.10 +35827230010
358,272,300.1 +3582723001

CSL or LS |
(signed number, leading separate
sign). This format refers to decimal data as punched into cards, and
then assembled into EBCDIC code. Example: +247 punched in a card becomes
+ 2 4 7 Punched numeric data
4E F2 F4 F7 Hexadecimal
01001110 11110010 11110100 11110111 Binary EBCDIC code
-247 becomes
- 2 4 7 Punched numeric data
60 F2 F4 F7 Hexadecimal
01100000 11110010 11110100 11110111 Binary EBCDIC code
Note: A value with '-' as the leading sign character is
treated as a negative value. A value with any leading sign character
other than '-' (for example, '+' (plus) or blank) is treated
as a positive value.
|
CST or TS |
(signed numeric, trailing separate
sign). This has the same representation as the CSL format, except
that the sign indicator is punched after the number. Example: 247+ punched on the card becomes
F2 F4 F7 4E Hexadecimal
Note: A value with '-'
as the trailing sign character is treated as a negative value. A
value with any trailing sign character other than '-' (for example,
'+' (plus) or blank) is treated as a positive value.
|
CLO1 or
OL1 |
(signed numeric, leading overpunch
sign). This format again refers to decimal data punched into cards
and then assembled into EBCDIC code. The sign indicator is, however,
overpunched with the first decimal digit of the number. Example: +247 with + overpunched on 2 becomes
+2 4 7 Punched numeric data
C2 F4 F7 Hexadecimal
11000010 11110100 11110111 Binary EBCDIC code
Similarly -247 becomes
D2 F4 F7
|
CTO or OT |
(signed numeric, trailing overpunch
sign). This format has the same representation as for the CLO format,
except that the sign indicator is overpunched on the last decimal
digit of the number. Example: +247 with + overpunched on 7 becomes
F2 F4 C7 hexadecimal
|
ASL |
(signed numeric, ASCII, leading separate
sign). Similar to the CSL format but with decimal data assembled
into ASCII code. Example: +247 punched into card becomes
+ 2 4 7 Punched numeric data
2B 32 34 37 Hexadecimal
0101011 00110010 00110100 00110111 Binary ASCII code
Similarly -247 becomes
2D 32 34 37 hexadecimal
Note: A value with '-'
as the leading sign character is treated as a negative value. A value
with any leading sign character other than '-' (for example,
'+' (plus) or blank) is treated as a positive value.
|
AST |
(signed numeric, ASCII, trailing
separate sign). This gives the same bit representation as the ASL
format, except that the sign is punched after the number. Example: 247+ becomes
32 34 37 2B hexadecimal
Note: A value with '-'
as the trailing sign character is treated as a negative value. A
value with any trailing sign character other than '-' (for example,
'+' (plus) or blank) is treated as a positive value.

|
Y2C or Y2Z |
(two-digit, two-byte character or
zoned-decimal year data). The two-digit year data can be represented
as follows: xyxy
y is hexadecimal 0-9 and represents
a year digit. x is hexadecimal 0-F and is ignored. Thus, 96
might be represented as hexadecimal F9F6 (character 96) or as hexadecimal
F9C6 or 0906 (zoned decimal 96).
|
Y2P |
(two-digit, two-byte packed-decimal
year data). The two-digit year data can be represented as follows:
xyyx
y is hexadecimal 0-9 and represents a year
digit. x is hexadecimal 0-F and is ignored. Thus, 96 might be represented
as hexadecimal 096F or 896C (packed decimal 96).
|
Y2D |
(two-digit, one-byte decimal year
data). The two-digit year data can represented as follows: yy
y
is hexadecimal 0-9 and represents a year digit. Thus, 96 would
be represented as hexadecimal 96 (decimal 96).
|
Y2S |
(two-digit, two-byte character or
zoned-decimal year data with special indicators). The
two-digit year data can represented as follows:
xyxy
y is hexadecimal 0-9 and
represents a year digit. x is hexadecimal 0-F and is ignored. Thus,
96 might be represented as hexadecimal F9F6 (character 96) or as hexadecimal
F9C6 or 0906 (zoned decimal 96).
The special indicators can
be represented as follows: qxzx
qx is hexadecimal 00,
40 or FF. zx is hexadecimal 00-FF (although typically 00, 40 and
FF).
Thus, special indicators might be hexadecimal 0000, 0005,
4040, FFFF, FF85 and so on.
|
Y2B |
(two-digit, one-byte binary year
data). The binary year data can be represented as follows: hh
hh
is the hexadecimal equivalent of a decimal yy value as follows:
Binary Values Decimal Values yy
X'00'-X'63' 00-99 00-99
X'64'-X'C7' 100-199 00-99
X'C8'-X'FF 200-255 00-55
Thus,
96 might be represented as hexadecimal 60 (decimal 96) or C4 (decimal
196).
