Reporting Facility Rules for Coding › Data Editing

Data Editing

The Reporting Facility uses a standard method of printing data, whether printing the data from an input file or from the General Storage Area (GSA). The system can print alphanumeric and numeric data. The system cannot print bit strings.

Alphanumeric data always prints in character format and, therefore, requires as many print positions as the length of the field, in bytes. The system does not edit alphanumeric data.
