Symbolic-numeric Edit Controls

Need to handle telephone numbers or credit card numbers in your application?  US Postal ZIP codes?  Social Security Numbers?  Symbolic-numeric fields are just what you want.

Symbolic-numeric fields differ from numeric fields in that they are:

Never, Never, Never attempt to use this type of field for quantitative data; it won't work properly; use Numeric for quantitative data!

Symbolic-numeric fields do not support validation.

Your field definition will look like this in the panel copybook:

05 TELEPHONE-NUMBER      PIC 9(10) VALUE ZERO.
