Edit strings can be specified in various parts of the REPORT system. The standard edit string elements are listed below. There are three basic types of edit operands:
Numeric fields
Alphanumeric fields
Date fields
Each type has its own edit string elements. To repeat an edit string element, append to the string element character. the number of instances of that character, with the number bracketed by parentheses. For example, to print an alphanumeric field of 5 characters use "X(5)" instead of "XXXXX". The various types are detailed in the following charts.
