STDTRUNC / NOSTDTRUNC
- STDTRUNC applies only to USAGE BINARY
data. When STDTRUNC is selected, USAGE BINARY data is truncated to the number
of digits in the PICTURE clause of the BINARY receiving field. STDTRUNC is
the default value.
- NOSTDTRUNC applies only to USAGE BINARY data. When
NOSTDTRUNC is selected, BINARY receiving fields are truncated only at half-word,
full-word, or double-word boundaries. BINARY sending fields are also handled
as half-words, full-words, or double-words. Thus, the full binary content
of the field is significant. Also, the DISPLAY statement will convert the
entire content of a BINARY field, with no truncation.
