nX (Skip Right n Positions) The X field descriptor functions the same as the TR field descriptor. On input, X starts the next read operation after skipping "n" character positions. If X is the last format item, it will have no effect. On output, X starts the next write operation after skipping the "n" character positions. Intervening characters are not written over. If X is the last format code executed, it will have no effect. The position specified must be in integer in the range 1 through the size of the record.
