Great link, thanks but my question is, is there a fill character that will pad the pattern with zeros. I've even tried X'F0', and X'00' as the first character in the pattern. from Greg Gray gregory.g...@irs.gov 2406131660 -Original Message- From: IBM Mainframe Assembler List

EDMK is used when you want a "floating" (just before the first significant digit) dollar sign or similar. You back up R1 by 1 and that is where your dollar sign goes. I think there are ED and EDMK examples in the PoOp, no? Read them carefully. Read them very carefully. ED and EDMK are powerful

Does the customer really want something like 0$10245670 ? Because with EDMK and the mask you have specified that is pretty much how this is going to work (as least the first three looks I took at this trying to figure out why the edit mask was written the way it is). Regards, Steve

If you have a x'21' in the edit pattern, you may as well use ED instead of EDMK. -Original Message- From: IBM Mainframe Assembler List [mailto:ASSEMBLER-LIST@LISTSERV.UGA.EDU] On Behalf Of Sokolsky, Hayim Z. Sent: 01 November 2017 21:29 To: ASSEMBLER-LIST@LISTSERV.UGA.EDU Subject: Re:

Yes, probably thousands have. "No success" is rather vague. MVC CL15,x'f0f0202020202020202020202020202020' EDCL15,PL7 UNPK CL15,PL7 would also accomplish this task, as you're not really using any of ED's power. On Wed, Nov 1, 2017 at 3:07 PM, Greg Gray wrote: > I

Just a try of the top of my head ... MVC OUTPUT(15),=X'F0202020202020202020202020202120' EDMK OUTPUT(15),NUMBER The first character in the output field is the "fill" character. In this case it's a C'0'. So even though all the x'20' characters prior to the x'21' get replaced

I have a field PL7 that contains a number (dollar amount) and I have to output that amount into a CL15 output field. The customer would like for the remaining characters other than the digits for the amount to be zeros, i.e., 0012391. I am trying to code a EDMK pattern with no
