User-defined edit codes 5 - 9
Hexadecimal F sign X1
Date edit Y2
Suppress leading zeros Z3
Notes:
  1. The X edit code ensures a hexadecimal F sign for positive values. Because the system does this for you, normally you do not have to specify this code.
  2. The Y edit code suppresses the leftmost zeros of date fields, up to but not including the digit preceding the first separator. The Y edit code also inserts slashes (/) between the month, day, and year according to the following pattern (with zero suppression): 
       nn/n
   nn/nn
   nn/nn/n
   nn/nn/nn
  nnn/nn/nn
   nn/nn/nnnn
  nnn/nn/nnnn
 nnnn/nn/nn
nnnnn/nn/nn
  3. The Z edit code removes the sign (plus or minus) from a numeric field and suppresses leading zeros.
