<div class="note"><span class="notetitle">Note:</span> The data type O (DBCS-capable) supports
DDS ICF files that use double-byte character set (DBCS).</div>
<p>If
a data type is not specified for the field and is not duplicated from a referenced
field, DDS assigns a default depending on the value in the decimal positions
(positions 36 and 37). If the decimal positions are blank, a default of character
(A) is assigned. If the decimal positions contain a number in the range 0
through 31, a default of zoned decimal (S) is assigned.</p>
<div class="note"><span class="notetitle">Note:</span> Specifying
F in position 35 results in a single precision floating-point field. Use the
FLTPCN keyword to specify double precision or to change the precision of an
already specified floating-point field.</div>
