Totally off Oracle topic.
I am studying the mainframe layout specs for a flat file, and came
across this "datatype", and I just want to confirm my interpretation.
PIC 9(9)V99
So that's 9 digits before the decimal point?
And then two digits after the decimal point?
And the actual data would have a decimal point?
So in this case, for a total of 12 characters?
123456789.99 ?
TIA!!!
