The characters in the expansion portion of an edit word are always used. The expansion cannot contain blanks. If a blank is required in the edited result, specify an ampersand in the body of the edit word.
Constants may be added to appear with any value of the number:
| Edit Word | Source Data | Appears in Edited Result as: |
|---|---|---|
| '␢,␢␢0.␢␢&CR&NET' | 000123- | ␢␢␢␢1.23␢CR␢NET |
| '␢,␢␢0.␢␢&CR&NET' | 000123 | ␢␢␢␢1.23␢␢␢␢NET |
Note that the CR in the middle of a word may be detected as a negative field value indication. If a word such as SECRET is required, use the coding in the example below.
