<div><p>Use this field-level keyword to define this field to allow the
null value.</p>
<div class="section"><p>This keyword has no parameters.</p>
<p>When you specify the ALWNULL
keyword, the maximum length you can specify in positions 30 to 34 is 32 765
bytes (32 739 if the field is also variable length).</p>
<p>For physical files,
when you specify the DATFMT keyword with values of *JOB, *MDY, *DMY, *YMD,
or *JUL and the field allows null value, you must specify a valid date on
the DFT keyword for this field.</p>
</div>
<div class="example"><h4 class="sectiontitle">Example</h4><p>The following example shows how to specify
the ALWNULL keyword.</p>

<p>FIELD1 is defined to allow the null value. The default
