Numeric Target Fields
Target | Conversion |
i, (b, s) | Content is handled in the same way as a source field of type c If the source field has a length of 0, the target field is assigned the value 0. |
p | Content is handled in the same way as a source field of type c If the source field has a length of 0, the target field is assigned the value 0. |
decfloat16, decfloat34 | Content is handled in the same way as a source field of type c If the source field has a length of 0, the target field is assigned the value 0. |
f | Content is handled in the same way as a source field of type c If the source field has a length of 0, the target field is assigned the value 0. |
Note
Character-Like Target Fields
Target | Conversion |
c | The content is handled in the same way as a source field of type c, with the difference that trailing blanks are passed. If the length of the source field is 0, the target field is padded with blanks. |
string | No conversion takes place. After the assignment, the internal reference of the target field points to the same string as the source field. A new string is only created in the memory if a change request for the content of the source field or target field is submitted. |
n | Content is handled in the same way as a source field of type c If the length of the source field is 0, the target field is padded with the character "0". |
d | The content is handled in the same way as a source field of type c, with the difference that trailing blanks are passed. If the length of the source field is 0, the target field is padded with the character "0". |
t | Content is handled in the same way as a source field of type c If the length of the source field is 0, the target field is padded with the character "0" and the trailing blanks are passed. |
Notes
Byte-Like Target Fields
Target | Conversion |
x | Content is handled in the same way as a source field of type c If the length of the source field is 0, the target field is padded with hexadecimal 0. |
xstring | Content is handled in the same way as a source field of type c If the length of the source field is 0, the length of the target field is also 0 after the assignment. |
