OS/400 Edit Codes in Printer Files

The OS/400 edit codes are:
1 through 4
A through D
J through Q
W through Z

Note:
The AS/400 system hardware operates with a preferred sign of F, which is equivalent to using edit code X. If the DATE or TIME keyword is specified with edit code X, the separator character is not displayed.

Asterisk Fill or Floating Currency Symbol in Printer Files

You can optionally specify asterisk fill or floating currency symbol with edit codes 1 through 4, A through D, and J through Q.

When you specify asterisk fill, an asterisk (*) is written for each zero suppressed. A complete field of asterisks is printed for a zero-balance field.

When you specify floating-currency symbol, the symbol appears to the left of the first significant digit. It does not print on a zero balance when an edit code is used that suppresses the zero balance. The symbol you specify must match the system value for the currency symbol (QCURSYM). (The symbol must match when the file is created. It does not have to match when the file is used.)

Note:
If an edit code is changed after a file is created, the new edit code is not used unless the file is re-created. Instead, the editing specified at the time the file was created continues to be used.
