Use this field-level keyword to specify the precision of a floating-point field.
The format of the keyword is:
FLTPCN(*SINGLE | *DOUBLE)
The valid parameters are *SINGLE (single precision) and *DOUBLE (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 appears 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 1 5FLTPCN(*DOUBLE) A
FIELDA is a floating-point field with double precision.
