):

"The figurative constants *BLANK/*BLANKS, *ZERO/*ZEROS, *HIVAL, *LOVAL,
*NULL, *ALL'x..', *ALLG'oK1K2i', *ALLU'XxxxYyyy', *ALLX'x1..', and *ON/*OFF
are implied literals that can be specified without a length, because the
implied length and decimal positions of a figurative constant are the same
as those of the associated field.
...
*ON is all ones ('1' or X'F1'). *OFF is all zeros ('0' or X'F0'). Both are
only valid for character fields."

Obviously the associated field here is taken from the procedure prototype.
