ZERO, ZEROS, ZEROES
Represents the numeric value zero (0) or one or more occurrences of the
character zero, depending on context.
When the figurative constant ZERO, ZEROS, or ZEROES is used in a
context that requires an alphanumeric character, an alphanumeric character
zero is used. When the context requires a national character zero, a
national character zero is used (value NX'0030'). When the context cannot
be determined, an alphanumeric character zero is used.
