S370FIBw.d

Syntax Description

w
specifies the width of the output field.
Default: 4
Range: 1-8

d
optionally specifies to multiply the number by 10d.


Details

The S370FIBw.d format writes integer binary (fixed-point) values that are stored in IBM mainframe format, including negative values that are represented in two's complement notation. S370FIBw.d writes integer binary values with consistent results if the values are created in the same type of operating environment that you use to run SAS.

Use S370FIBw.d to write integer binary data in IBM mainframe format from data that are created in other operating environments.

Note:   Different operating environments store integer binary values in different ways. This concept is called byte ordering. For a detailed discussion about byte ordering, see Byte Ordering on Big Endian and Little Endian Platforms.   [cautionend]

put y $hex8.;

Values Results*

----+----1
128
00000080
*The result is a hexadecimal representation of a 4-byte integer binary number. Each byte occupies one column of the output field.
