ECSDECPT |
Contains the current decimal point symbol as
determined by the DECOPT option of PROFILE (period or comma). |
ECSECODE |
Contains the user edit code. |
ECSERRET |
Contains a zero at the point of call. Set this
to a nonzero return code to record an error. Use one of the values
on the following list for an error of the indicated type:
- Number
- Error
- 99101
- Unrecognized edit code
- 99102
- Improper input data type for edit code
- 99103
- Invalid input value for item to be formatted
- 99104
- Item to be formatted is too short
- 99105
- Not enough room for result in ECSRSLT (result is too wide
for the space allotted)
The error codes listed (and their associated messages and help
panels) are specific to the error. For any other code, a general
error message, with a general backup help panel, is displayed. |
ECSFREQ |
Holds E for a formatting call, T for a termination
call. |
ECSINLEN |
Contains the length, in bytes, of the value to
be formatted. |
ECSINNUL |
Holds an N if the value to be formatted is null. |
ECSINPRC |
Contains the precision of the value to be formatted.
Applies only to U-type codes when the data type is DECIMAL, or to
V-type codes when the character string to be formatted was derived
from numeric data. |
ECSINSCL |
Contains the scale of the value to be formatted.
Applies only to U-type codes when the data type is DECIMAL, or to
V-type codes when the character string to be formatted was derived
from numeric data. |
ECSINSGN |
Holds the sign of a converted numeric value (blank
or - ). Applies only to V codes when the character string to be
formatted was derived from numeric data. |
ECSINTYP |
Indicates, in database terms, how
the value to be formatted is represented. Applies to edit codes
of every type. Values can be:
- 384
- DATE data type
- 388
- TIME data type
- 392
- TIMESTAMP data type
- 448
- VARCHAR data type
- 452
- CHAR data type
- 456
- LONG VARCHAR data type
- 464
- VARGRAPHIC data type
- 468
- GRAPHIC data type
- 472
- LONG VARGRAPHIC data type
- 480
- FLOAT data type
- 484
- DECIMAL data type
- 496
- INTEGER data type
- 500
- SMALLINT data type
- 940
- Extended floating point data type
The extended floating point data type is not supported by the database (or
by COBOL); it is limited to functions such as AVERAGE and STDEV. Extended
floating point values are precise to more than 30 digits. |
ECSNAME |
Contains the name of the control block, which
is DXEECS. Serves as an eye catcher in storage dumps. |
ECSRQMF |
Set this to T to request a termination call. |
ECSRSLEN |
Contains the length of the output area, in bytes.
(Value is taken from the column WIDTH in the FORM) |
ECSTHSEP |
Contains the thousands separator as determined
by the DECOPT option of PROFILE (blank or a comma). |
ECSUSERS |
A 256-byte scratchpad area where your exit routine
can record information that persists from one call to the next.
On the first call after the edit routine is loaded, this field contains
binary zeros. |
