Edit descriptors
Chapter 9 251
Table 9-11 provides examples of the E and D edit descriptors on output.
EN and ES edit descriptors The EN and ES descriptors format floating-point values, using
engineering and scientific notation, respectively. They are similar in form to the E descriptor,
except:
• The field produced by the EN descriptor has an exponent that is divisible by 3 and a
significand that is in the range 1 to 999.
• The field produced by the ES descriptor has one digit before the decimal point.
Table 9-12 provides examples of the EN and ES edit descriptors on output.
