Define Literals

The previous screen shows how to move a literal keyword into the To field.

Numeric literals are decimal strings of up to 18 digits, optionally preceded by a plus or minus sign.
Non‑numeric literals are any string of EBCDIC characters enclosed in single quotes.
The character string cannot contain a quotation mark.

To specify a keyword in the From field, use any of the keywords listed in the following table.

From Field Keyword	Actual Value
ZERO(S)	0
SPACE(S)	One or more blanks (X'40')
HIGH‑VALUE(S)	One or more occurrences of the hexadecimal string FF
LOW‑VALUE(S)	One or more occurrences of the hexadecimal string 00
QUOTE(S)	One or more occurrences of the hexadecimal string 7D (the EBCDIC representation of a quotation mark)

ALL 'xx' or ALL nn fills the receiving field with a character string or a decimal digit.
