[. . . ] Default: 12 Range: 1­32 d optionally specifies the power of 10 by which to divide the value. Range: 0­31 Details The S370FFw. d informat reads numeric data that are represented in EBCDIC and converts the data to native format. S370FFw. d reads EBCDIC numeric values that are represented with one byte per digit. Use S370FFw. d on other operating environments to read numeric data from IBM mainframe files. If a value is negative, an EBCDIC minus sign should immediately precede the value. S370FFw. d reads values with EBCDIC decimal points and values in scientific notation, and it interprets a single EBCDIC period as a missing value. Comparisons The S370FFw. d informat performs the same role for numeric data that the $EBCDICw. d informat does for character data. That is, on an IBM mainframe system, S370FFw. d has the same effect as the standard w. d informat. On all other systems, 1102 S370FIBw. d Informat 4 Chapter 5 using S370FFw. d is equivalent to using $EBCDICw. d as well as using the standard w. d informat. Examples input @1 x s370ff3. ; When the Data Line* is . . . ----+----1 F1F2F3 F2F4F0 The Result is . . . 123 240 * The data lines are hexadecimal representations of codes for characters. Each two hexadecimal digits correspond to one byte of binary data, and each byte corresponds to one character value. S370FIBw. d Informat Reads integer binary (fixed-point) values, including negative values, in IBM mainframe format Category: Numeric Syntax S370FIBw. d Syntax Description w specifies the width of the input field. Default: 4 Range: 1­8 d optionally specifies the power of 10 by which to divide the value. Range: 0­10 Details The S370FIBw. d informat reads integer binary (fixed-point) values that are stored in IBM mainframe format, including negative values that are represented in two's complement notation. S370FIBw. d reads integer binary values with consistent results if the values are created in the same type of operating environment that you use to run SAS. Informats 4 S370FIBUw. d Informat 1103 Use S370FIBw. d for integer binary data that are created in IBM mainframe format for reading in other operating environments. Note: Different operating environments store integer binary values in different ways. For a detailed discussion about byte ordering, see "Byte Ordering for Integer Binary Data on Big Endian and Little Endian Platforms" on page 1013. 4 Comparisons 3 If you use SAS on an IBM mainframe, S370FIBw. d and IBw. d are identical. 3 S370FPIBw. d, S370FIBUw. d, and S370FIBw. d are used to read big endian integers in any operating environment. To view a table that shows the type of informat to use with big endian and little endian integers, see Table 5. 1 on page 1014. To view a table that compares integer binary notation in several programming languages, see Table 5. 2 on page 1014. Examples You can use the INPUT statement and specify the S370FIB informat. However, this example uses the informat with the INPUT function, where the binary input value is described by using a hex literal. x=input('0080'x, s370fib2. ); If the SAS Statement is . . . 128 See Also Informats: "S370FIBUw. d Informat" on page 1103 "S370FPIBw. d Informat" on page 1107 S370FIBUw. d Informat Reads unsigned integer binary (fixed-point) values in IBM mainframe format Category: Numeric 1104 S370FIBUw. d Informat 4 Chapter 5 Syntax S370FIBUw. d Syntax Description w specifies the width of the input field.
