1 EDIT_CODE

 The EDIT_CODE field attribute clause provides a code that VAX RPG  II
 follows when printing a field's value.

2 Parameter

 rpgec_quoted_string

      A VAX RPG II edit code or modifier.

2 Syntax Rules

  o  The quoted string (rpgec_quoted_string) must be a valid  VAX  RPG
     II  edit  code  or modifier.  However, the CDDL compiler does not
     check the quoted string for correct syntax.

  o  You can use 8-bit characters in CDDL quoted strings.


2 Usage Note

 Only VAX RPG  II  supports  the  EDIT_CODE  clause.   Other  language
 processors ignore it.

2 Example

 In the following example, the edit code for the field  ORDNUM  is  3.
 Because  the  attribute's  value  is  3,  a  VAX  RPG II program will
 suppress zeroes when printing ORDNUM.
