Syntax
Syntax Description
- w

of the input field.
- d
-
specifies the power
of 10 by which to divide the value. This argument is optional.
Details
Use S370FZDS
w.
d on
other operating environments to read zoned decimal data from IBM mainframe
files.
Comparisons
-
Zoned decimal separate leading-sign
data is similar to standard zoned decimal data except that the sign
of the value is stored in the first byte of zoned decimal leading
sign data, and the first digit of the value is stored in the second
byte.

The S370FZDS
w.
d informat
is equivalent to the COBOL notation PIC S9(
n) DISPLAY SIGN LEADING SEPARATE, where the
n value is the number of digits.
