A data edit descriptor takes one of the following forms: [r]c [r]cw [r]cw.m [r]cw.d [r]cw.d[Ee] r Is an optional repeat count. (If you omit "r", the repeat count is assumed to be 1.) c Is a format code (I,B,O,Z,F,E,EN,ES,D,G,L, or A). w Is the total number of digits in the field (the field width). m Is the minimum number of digits that must appear in the field (including leading zeros). d Is the number of digits to the right of the decimal point. E Identifies an exponent field. e Is the number of digits in the exponent. The ranges for "r", "w", "m", "d", and "e" are as follows: Term Range ---- __________ r 1 to 2147483647 (2**31-1) w 1 to 2147483647 m 0 to 32767 (2**15-1) d 0 to 32767 e 1 to 32767 The terms must all be positive, unsigned, integer constants or variable format expressions. You cannot use PARAMETER constants for "r", "w", "m", "d", or "e".
