Use the DFT keyword to specify a constant value for constant (unnamed) fields.
The format of the keyword is:
DFT('value') 'value' DFT(X'hexadecimal-value') X'hexadecimal-value'
Constant values can be:
You can specify DFT implicitly by omitting DFT and the parentheses (this is true for both character and hexadecimal values). Simply specify the value within apostrophes. For hexadecimal values, you must also precede the value with an X.
The EDTCDE and EDTWRD keywords cannot be specified with the DFT keyword.
Option indicators are not valid for this keyword. However, they can be used to condition the constant field with which this keyword is specified, specifying the last option indicator on the same line as the field location.
