Simple insertion editing

This type of editing is valid for alphanumeric-edited, numeric-edited, and DBCS items.

Each insertion symbol is counted in the size of the item, and represents the position within the item where the equivalent character is to be inserted. For edited DBCS items, each insertion symbol (B) is counted in the size of the item and represents the position within the item where the DBCS space is to be inserted.

For example:

PICTURE Value of data Edited result
X(10)/XX ALPHANUMER01 ALPHANUMER/01
X(5)BX(7) ALPHANUMERIC ALPHA NUMERIC
99,B999,B000 1234 01,b234,b0001
99,999 12345 12,345
GGBBGG D1D2D3D4 D1D2bbbbD3D41

Notes:

  1. The symbol b represents a space.
