IBw.d

w: specifies the width of the input field.
d: optionally specifies the power of 10 by which to divide the input value. If you specify d, the IBw.d informat divides the input value by the 10^d value. SAS uses the d value, even if the input data contain decimal points.

The IBw.d informat reads integer-binary (fixed-point) values that are represented in the OpenVMS twos-complement notation. For information about OpenVMS native fixed-point values, see Architecture Reference Manual for Alpha and Architecture Reference Manual for VAX.
