IBw.d

Language element:	informat
Category:	numeric
Width range:	1 to 8
Default width:	4
Decimal range:	0 to 10
OpenVMS specifics:	native twos-complement notation

w

specifies the width of the input field.

d

optionally specifies the power of 10 by which to divide the input value. If you specify d, the IBw.d informat divides the input value by the 10^d value. SAS uses the d value, even if the input data contain decimal points.

Details

The IBw.d informat reads integer-binary (fixed-point) values that are represented in the OpenVMS twos-complement notation. For information about OpenVMS native fixed-point values, see Architecture Reference Manual for Alpha and Architecture Reference Manual for VAX.
