FLTPCN (Floating-Point Precision) keyword for ICF files

Use this field-level keyword to specify the precision of a floating-point field.

The format of the keyword is: 
FLTPCN(*SINGLE | *DOUBLE)
where the *SINGLE parameter is single precision and the *DOUBLE parameter is double precision.

This keyword is valid for floating-point fields only (data type F).

A single-precision field can be up to 9 digits. A double-precision field can be up to 17 digits. If you specify a field length greater than 9 (single precision) or 17 (double precision), an error message is issued and the file is not created. ICF supports a floating-point accuracy of 7 digits for single precision and 15 digits for double precision.

Option indicators are not valid for this keyword.
