With this session parameter, you specify the character string to be
inserted in the column immediately preceding the value of a field output with a
DISPLAY statement.
The width of the output column is enlarged accordingly.
For numeric values, the insertion characters will be placed before the first significant digit printed.
The IC and LC parameters are mutually
exclusive.
The parameter IC can also be used with U format
fields.
| Possible settings | any character | Character string to be inserted. You
can specify a string of one to ten characters.
Insertion characters may optionally be specified within apostrophes, in which case any characters can be specified. Any character string specified which contains a closing parenthesis or a quotation mark must be enclosed within apostrophes. A blank in a character string not enclosed within apostrophes is represented by a circumflex (^). |
