Use this keyword to specify the precision of a floating-point field.
The format of the keyword is:
FLTPCN(*SINGLE | *DOUBLE)
The *SINGLE parameter specifies single precision and the *DOUBLE parameter specifies double precision. This keyword is valid for floating-point fields only (data type F).
A single-precision field can be up to 9 digits; a double-precision field can be up to 17 digits. If you specify a field length greater than 9 (single precision) or 17 (double precision), an error message is issued and the file is not created.
Option indicators are not valid for this keyword.
Example:
The following example shows how to specify the FLTPCN keyword.
|...+....1....+....2....+....3....+....4....+....5....+....6....+....7....+....8 00090A FIELDA 17F 4 2 3FLTPCN(*DOUBLE) A
FIELDA is a floating-point field with double precision.
