Cobol properties
Properties of the COBOL representation:
-
Character encoding: Specify the character encoding for the data to be processed. See Character Encodings for more information.
- Byte Order: Select either Big Endian or Little Endian for the byte order.
- Large occurs error threshold: Set to 1000 by default. Enter a value that is larger than the expected maximum size. To disable the feature, enter -1 in the field provided.
- Pad decimals on read with leading zeroes: Select the checkbox if you wish to pad decimal values with the leading zeroes up to the decimal precision.
- Allow spaces for packed decimals: Select the checkbox if you want to allow packed decimals fields filled with white spaces or zero characters without errors. The returned values will be zero in these cases.
- Allow any character in display decimals: Select the checkbox if you wish to the display decimal fields to be converted on a best effort basis. Any character, including non-digits, non-signs, and non-decimal separators, are translated to character zero.
- Trim whitespace on input?: Select the checkbox if you wish to remove any leading or trailing whitespaces when you execute a map.
