  22.9.4 Decimal String Data Types
  CDD/Repository supports the following forms of decimal
  string data types:

  .
        LEFT OVERPUNCHED NUMERIC
  .
        LEFT SEPARATE NUMERIC
  .
        RIGHT OVERPUNCHED NUMERIC
  .
        RIGHT SEPARATE NUMERIC
  .
        PACKED DECIMAL
  .
        UNSIGNED NUMERIC
  .
        ZONED NUMERIC

  BASIC supports only the PACKED DECIMAL decimal string
  data type, which corresponds to the BASIC DECIMAL data
  type. For all other decimal string data types, BASIC creates a
  group with the same name as the CDD/Repository subordi-
  nate field, and creates a string record component to contain
  the field. For example:
