9(9)v99 will NOT have the explicit decimal point. It is totally 11 characters only. It is 12345678901 w/o decimal point
-----Original Message----- Sent: Tuesday, November 12, 2002 8:14 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Totally off Oracle topic. I am studying the mainframe layout specs for a flat file, and came across this "datatype", and I just want to confirm my interpretation. PIC 9(9)V99 So that's 9 digits before the decimal point? And then two digits after the decimal point? And the actual data would have a decimal point? So in this case, for a total of 12 characters? 123456789.99 ?
