Hello,
Implied decimals are used in calculations and comparisons. "Displayed" decimals are placed on screens and reports and are more readable.
Move the implied decimal field to an edited output field (i.e. pic zz,zzz.99-). |

| I would consider +9(7).9999 as displayed decimal format since the decimal point is part of the PICTURE. Implied decimal would be something like S9(7)V9(4) -- the V means the decimal point occurs between the two digits but there is no decimal point stored in the data value: 1234567987R would be the internal representation of -1234567.9879, for example. |

| Another way of saying this is that an implied decimal does not use any storage; a displayed decimal uses 1 byte of storage. |

| Dick and Robert have already answered your question. What don't you understand? |

| Perhaps if you explain what YOU mean by "displayed decimal format" we can offer advice. As multiple posts have indicated, the way you are using this term is not the same as standard industry references -- so we don't know what you mean by this term. Give us examples with internal representations of the differences. Also, what language are you wanting to implement this in? |

How do you conclude this?  |

| This thread seems to have gone nowhere in 5 days. Jagen, have you even cracked open the Language Reference Manual? It has your answer. |
