The EDIT_WORD field attribute clause provides a format that  VAX  RPG
 II follows when printing a field's value.

Additional information available:

ParameterSyntax RulesUsage NoteExample

 rpgew_quoted_string

      A VAX RPG II edit word.

  o  The quoted string must be a valid VAX RPG II edit word.  However,
     the  CDDL  compiler  does not check the quoted string for correct
     syntax.

  o  You can use 8-bit characters in CDDL quoted strings.

 Only VAX RPG  II  supports  the  EDIT_WORD  clause.   Other  language
 processors ignore it.

 In the following example, the EDIT_WORD attribute in the AMOUNT field
 specifies a monetary format:

 TRANSACTION STRUCTURE.
     ORDNUM         DATATYPE IS NUMERIC RIGHT OVERPUNCHED
                    SIZE IS 8 DIGITS
                    EDIT_CODE FOR RPG IS "3".
     AMOUNT         DATATYPE IS NUMERIC RIGHT OVERPUNCHED
                    SIZE IS 8 DIGITS 2 FRACTIONS
                    EDIT_WORD FOR RPG IS "$0  ,   .  CR".
 END TRANSACTION STRUCTURE.
