Take your pick:
N?zoned decimal ? the field contains digits 0 through 9 in external decimal form.
P?packed decimal ? the field contains numbers which meet IBM's definition of internal packed decimal.
B?binary ? the field contains binary data.
A?alphanumeric ? use when none of the numeric data types apply to the associated field. |

How do you define "a small int" in COBOL?
Have you looked at the EZT manual? |
