decimal delimiter mods on the fly...

[bvining@xxxxxxxxxxxx]

Don,

I don't know how granular you need this "on the fly", but when you
create the *DSPF/*PRTF you can specify with DECFMT whether or not the
decimal format is determined at compile time or run time from the
DECFMT job attribute.  The job attribute is checked only at file open
time, so you cannot change it without closing the file.  As you are
looking at it on a profile by profile basis hopefully open time is
sufficient.
