<h2>Edit Function APIs</h2>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>The Edit Function APIs create and use edit masks.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>An <strong>edit mask</strong> is a byte string that tells the edit machine
|
||
|
|
instruction or the Edit (QECEDT) API how to format a numeric value into a
|
||
|
|
readable character string. An edit mask can format a numeric value so that
|
||
|
|
languages that cannot use machine instructions directly can take advantage of
|
||
|
|
this function. The edit mask is defined by the Edit Code (EDTCDE) and Edit Word
|
||
|
|
(EDTWRD) keywords in DDS.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>An <strong>edit code</strong> is a standard description of how a number
|
||
|
|
should be formatted. There are many standard edit codes defined by the system.
|
||
|
|
Users can define several edit codes the way they want with the use of the
|
||
|
|
Create Edit Description (CRTEDTD) command.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>An <strong>edit word</strong> is a user-defined description of how a number
|
||
|
|
should be formatted. An edit word usually is used when one of the standard edit
|
||
|
|
codes or user-defined edit codes is not sufficient for a particular
|
||
|
|
situation.</p>
|
