FIXED Numeric
Examples of INT(32) numeric constants:
For readability, always specify the % in the %D hexadecimal suffix to prevent the suffix
from being confused with the integer part of the constant. The following format, where
a space replaces the % in the %D suffix, is allowed but not recommended:
-%H99FF29 D
The system stores signed integers in two’s complement notation (see INT Numeric on
page 3-15).
