2 | Char Null terminated | Character String that is terminated by nul (0h). C-style string. |
3 | Char Null padded | Character String that is null padded on the right |
4 | Hex | Hex Field (max length 8 bytes). |
5 | Num (Left Justified) | Left justified numeric field |
6 | Num (Right Justified space padded) | Right Justified space padded Numeric field |
7 | Num (Right Justified zero padded) | Right Justified zero padded Numeric field |
8 | Num Assumed Decimal (Zero padded) | Right Justified zero padded Numeric field with an assumed Decimal space |
9 | Num Sign Separate Leading | Numeric Sign separate from the field and at the front. |
10 | Num Sign Separate Trailing | Numeric Sign separate from the field and at the end of the field. |
11 | Decimal | Unsigned Decimal (i.e. 121 is represented as hex x'0121' |
15 | Binary Integer | PC format (i.e. Low to High) Binary integer. A value of 255 is represented as hex x'FF00'. |
16 | Positive Binary Integer | PC format positive Integer |
17 | Float | Standard Floating point number |
18 | Double | Standard Double |
21 | Bit | Show the individual bits. |
31 | Mainframe Packed Decimal (comp-3) | Mainframe packed decimal (Pic s9(#) comp-3 in mainframe Cobol). In this format, 255 would be stored as hex x'255F' |
32 | Mainframe Zoned Numeric |
Corresponds to Cobol PIC S999. on the mainframe.
The format dates to the Punch Card days when a fields sign was entered by
