FILL
The FILL option tells BMC AMI Unload whether to fill numeric external fields with zeros when converting numeric columns to their external representations.
This capability supports applications such as COBOL that require leading zeros to edit and check unloaded data properly. You can use this global option or the FILL option on your field specification. For more information, see the individual data type.
Operands
NO | (default) Specify NO if you want to remove all leading zeros when converting numeric data types to their external representations. |
|---|---|
YES | When you specify FILL YES, BMC AMI Unload externalizes all leading zeros when converting numeric data types to their external representations. The first character in the external representation of the number is either a minus sign ('-') or a plus sign ('+'). |
