<h1 class="topictitle1">Display length</h1>
<div><p>The display length is increased for certain types of fields and
must be considered when laying out the display.</p>
<div class="p">The display length is increased by the <span class="keyword">i5/OS™</span> operating
system in the following situations: <ul><li>For numeric-only fields with editing, the display length is determined
from the edit word or the program length and the edit code.</li>
<li>For input-capable signed numeric fields, the display length is one more
than the program length.</li>
<li>The display length is one more than the program length for numeric shift
fields and for numeric-only fields without editing when these fields are input-capable
and have decimal positions greater than zero.</li>
<li>The display length for floating-point fields is 7 more than the length
specified in positions 30 through 34. The 7 extra positions are for the significand
sign, the decimal point or comma, the exponent character, the exponent sign,
and the 3 exponent digits.</li>
</ul>
</div>
<p>For an unsigned numeric field (like FIELD4 in Figure 1) with a nonzero
decimal position, the system requires a decimal character to be typed into
the field when decimal values are typed in as data. In Figure 2, 123 in FIELD4
does not require a decimal character, but 1234 does (123.4). For this field,
the display length is 6.</p>
