EDIT= type
specifies that (for input fields) you want NCL to perform additional internal
editing. By default, NCL performs no special editing. Specification of this
operand ensures that the entered data conforms to the specified type. If a field is
mandatory, then REQ=YES must also be specified. Table 6-3 contains a list of the
possible entries for the EDIT= type operand for #FLD. If the input data does not
conform to the specified type, a validation error occurs; see #ERR.
