Modifiers
If you want to change the default overflow character for all display formats in the
current session, use the @OVERFLOW option variable described under Option Variable
Clauses on page 5-48.
The following examples show the effect of the overflow character modifier:
Format Item Value Printed Item
------ ---------- ------------
"[OC'!'] I2" 100 !!
"[OC'!'] F5.2" 100000.00 !!!!!
Justification Modifiers
The justification modifiers specify right or left justification for the values of an
alphanumeric target-item or by-item. The syntax is:
LJ
specifies that an item is to be printed justified to the left of the specified display
format width.
RJ
specifies that an item is to be printed justified to the right of the specified display
format width.
The justification modifiers apply only to alphanumeric (A) edit descriptors.
Alphanumeric target-items or by-items are normally left-justified. Padding of
the item width automatically takes place. If the item value is wider than the width
specified, truncation occurs.
The following examples show the effect of the justification modifiers:
Format Item Value Printed Item
------ ---------- ------------
"[RJ] A12" HELLO HELLO
A12 HELLO HELLO
"[RJ] A2" HELLO LO
Symbol Substitution Modifier
The symbol substitution modifier allows you tochange the standard symbols (“9,' “V,”
“Z,” “.” and “,”) used in edit descriptors. The syntax is:
{ LJ }
{ RJ }
