Effect

Formats the content of a data object specified either statically as source or dynamically in source_name and writes it to the variable destination.

Additions

• LEFT-JUSTIFIED$|CENTERED$|RIGHT-JUSTIFIED
  Determines whether the output is left-aligned, centered or right-aligned within the current output length.

• EXPONENT exp
  Determines the exponent for the output of data objects of the data type f.

• NO-GROUPING
  Suppresses the thousands separators in the output of data objects of the data types (b, s), i, int8, or p or p.

• NO-SIGN
  Suppresses the sign in the output of data objects of the data types i, p, or f.

• NO-ZERO
  Replaces zeros with blanks.

• CURRENCY cur
  Defines currency-related decimal places for the output of data objects of the data types i or p by using a currency key cur from the database table TCURX.

• DECIMALS dec
  Sets the decimal places contained in the output of data objects of the data types i, p, f, or of time stamps, to dec.

• ROUND scale
  Multiplies the value of a data object of the data type p by 10**(-scale) before the output.

• UNIT unit
  Cuts off decimal places which have the value 0 and are outside the precision of a measurement unit unit from the database table T006 when formatting data objects of the data type p.

• ENVIRONMENT TIME FORMAT
  Formats a time output in 12 hour or 24 hour format.

• TIME ZONE tz
  Formats a time stamp with reference to a time zone tz.

• STYLE stl
  Formats a decimal floating point number into an output format stl.

• USING ${${NO EDIT MASK$}$|${EDIT MASK mask$}$}
  
  NO EDIT MASK - Disables the execution of an assigned conversion routine.
  
  EDIT MASK - Either calls another conversion routine mask or defines an edit mask mask.

• DD/MM/YY$|MM/DD/YY$|DD/MM/YYYY$|MM/DD/YYYY$|DDMMYY$|MMDDYY$|YYMMDD
  Functions as an edit mask for the output of data objects of the data type d.
  mask$}$}
  
  NO EDIT MASK - Disables the execution of an assigned conversion routine.
  
  EDIT MASK - Either calls another conversion routine mask or defines an edit mask mask.
  

• DD/MM/YY$|MM/DD/YY$|DD/MM/YYYY$|MM/DD/YYYY$|DDMMYY$|MMDDYY$|YYMMDD
  Functions as an edit mask for the output of data objects of the data type d.
