<div><p>Use this position to specify that a named field is an output-only
|
|
or program-to-system field. Do not make an entry in this position for a constant
|
|
(unnamed) field.</p>
|
|
<div class="p">The valid entries for printer files are: <ul><li><tt>O</tt> or blank: Output only</li>

</div>
|
|
<p>Output-only fields pass data from a program to the printer when the program
|
|
prints a record.</p>
|
|
<p>A program-to-system field is a named, numeric, or alphanumeric output-only
|
|
field used to pass data between the program and the system. It is not printed.
|
|
A program can send data to the field with an output operation,
|
|
but the data is not printed.</p>
|
|
<div class="p">The following rules apply to program-to-system fields: <ul><li>The field is always named.</li>
|
|
<li>Locations are not valid.</li>
|
|
<li>Length, data type, and decimal positions are specified as for other named
|
|
fields.</li>
|
|
<li>If a program-to-system field is used in the record format, it must be
|
|
specified as a parameter on a keyword within the same record format.</li>
|
|
<li>Program-to-system fields must appear after all data fields.</li>
