ILE COBOL Language Reference
- 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.
