Edit Codes

Edit codes provide a means of editing numeric fields according to a predefined pattern. They are divided into three categories: simple (X, Y, Z), combination (1 through 4, A through D, J through Q), and user-defined (5 through 9). In output specifications, you enter the edit code in position 44 of the field to be edited. In calculation specifications, you specify the edit code as the second parameter of the %EDITC built-in function.
