HELPLIB.HLB  —  FORTRAN  Format Specifiers, General Form, Data Edit Format
  A data edit descriptor takes one of the following forms:

     [r]c  [r]cw  [r]cw.m  [r]cw.d [r]cw.d[Ee]

     r    Is an optional repeat count.  (If you omit "r",
          the repeat count is assumed to be 1.)

     c    Is a format code (I,B,O,Z,F,E,EN,ES,D,G,L, or A).

     w    Is the total number of digits in the field (the
          field width).

     m    Is the minimum number of digits that must appear
          in the field (including leading zeros).

     d    Is the number of digits to the right of the decimal point.

     E    Identifies an exponent field.

     e    Is the number of digits in the exponent.

  The ranges for "r", "w", "m", "d", and "e" are as follows:

  Term      Range
  ----      __________
   r        1 to 2147483647 (2**31-1)
   w        1 to 2147483647
   m        0 to 32767 (2**15-1)
   d        0 to 32767
   e        1 to 32767

  The terms must all be positive, unsigned, integer constants or
  variable format expressions.

  You cannot use PARAMETER constants for "r", "w", "m", "d", or "e".
