RE: Displaying a $ using /free

Regardless...O specs are no different for free format or fixed format.
The "free" format only applies to "C" specs...all others are still fixed
format...same as always. 


Thanks,
Tommy Holden

Something like this:

It should be in the reference manual under specifications.

Rick

"A currency symbol followed directly by a first zero in the edit word
(end-zero-suppression character) is said to float. All leading zeros
are suppressed in the output and the currency symbol appears in the
output immediately to the left of the most significant digit."

So it'd be more like:

O                field      5 '  $0.  '
