Display characteristics are determined by the external picture.
For example, a date field can have an internal picture of 9(6) and an external picture of 99/99/99. If the internal picture for a DATE data field is 9(6) as many as six numeric digits can be stored for the field. The external picture of 99/99/99 specifies how a stored value is displayed on the terminal screen. Using this example, a date stored internally 101297 displays externally as 10/12/97.
