DISPLAY_TO_Z function
Functions
DISPLAY_TO_Z{[DISPLAY],[SIGN],[POSITION],[DECIMAL]}
This function converts a signed numeric value (in COBOL DISPLAY format) to a numeric character string.
If the size of the input data is 0, the value 0 is returned.
Parameters
DISPLAY
Specify the character encoding of the character set.
- A
-
: Treats the character set as ASCII.
- E
-
: Treats the character set as EBCDIC.
If you omit this parameter, ASCII is applied.
SIGN
Specify the character encoding of the sign position.
- A
-
: Treats the sign position as ASCII.
- E
-
: Treats the sign position as EBCDIC.
If you omit this parameter, EBCDIC is applied.
POSITION
This parameter enables the rightmost or leftmost numeric value to be treated as a signed numeric value and replaces it with encoding that matches a value in Table App. 1.2.
- L
-
: Treats the leftmost numeric value as a signed numeric value.
- T
-
: Treats the rightmost numeric value as a signed numeric value.
If you omit this parameter, T is applied.
DECIMAL
Specify the digits after the decimal point for the input. Use a number from 0 to 9.
0 indicates no decimal places. If you omit this parameter, 0 is applied.
