|
|
<div><p>Use these positions to specify the decimal placement within a packed
|
|
decimal, a zoned decimal, a floating point, or a binary field.</p>
|
|
<div class="section"><p>Specify a decimal number from 0 through 31 to indicate the number
|
|
of decimal positions to the right of the decimal point. (This number must
|
|
not be greater than the number of digits specified in the field length.)</p>
|
|
<p>You
|
|
can override or change these positions if you are using a referenced field.
|
|
To override the positions, specify the new value. To change the positions,
|
|
specify the amount by which you want the field increased or decreased and
|
|
precede it with either a + or -. For example, an entry of +4 indicates there
|
|
are to be four more digits to the right of the decimal point than were in
|
|
the referenced field. If the resulting number of decimal positions is greater
|
|
than the maximum allowed, you will receive an error message. </p>
|
|
<div class="note"><span class="notetitle">Note:</span> High-level
|

languages can impose specific length and value restrictions on the decimal
|
|
positions. Observe these restrictions for files used by those languages.</div>
