Trouble with Edit/Ed (Assembler)
Posted: Wed Nov 16, 2011 1:10 am
Apparently in IBM assembler if I apply "ED MASK1,DATA1" with MASK1 = x'402020212060' and DATA1 = x'00000C'. MASK1 then prints: bbbbb0b.
I know an edit mask is made of
− A fill byte
− Digit select characters (x’20’)
− Significance start characters (x’21’)
− Field separator characters (x’22’)
− Message bytes (anything else)
The first byte is the "fill byte".
What I want here is some clarification such that I can properly understand why I get the result I do.
