Output Format

The output format of the statement determines how a statement value is presented at the intersection of a column and a row.

You can enter the output format manually, or by using the three-digit code of a format predefined in the Formats by Generic Unit (ttaad1107m000) session, preceded by "%A".

A statement page consists of statement columns and statement accounts (rows). In this field you indicate how a value must be represented at the intersection of a column and a row (coordinate).

[...]

x = coordinates for which you must indicate how their values must be printed.

If you manually enter an output format, you can use the following symbols:

If you manually enter an output format, you can use the following symbols:

  • 9
    Reserves one position for each figure; adds a "0" (zero) if this position does not contain a significant figure.
  • Z
    Reserves one position for each figure; adds a space if this position does not contain a significant figure (can be used both before and after the decimal and thousand signs).
  • V
    Has no meaning if used individually; only when combined with "D" or decimal point, a decimal sign will be inserted at the "V" position.
  • D
    Reserves one position for the decimal sign as defined in the data dictionary; "D" is used together with "V", so that the decimal sign is inserted at the "V" position.
  • T
    Reserves one position for the thousand sign as defined in the data dictionary.
  • -
    If this sign is the first or the last character in a format string, a minus sign ("-") is added either left or right of a negative value; in case of a positive value, a space will be added. If the string contains a minus sign at another position than the first or the last, the sign has the same value as "Z".
