CONVERT-OUTPUT=value

This option affects only Screen Section DISPLAY statements. If this keyword is set to Yes, then all output fields will act as if the WITH CONVERSION phrase were specified for them. This has two effects. The first is that numeric fields will be converted from the internal storage format to a readable form (including suppression of leading zeros). The second is that the action of the JUSTIFY keyword (see below) takes effect. This option is normally set to No, but is provided as an alternate method of displaying numeric data in the Screen Section. The configuration variable SCRN_CONVERT_OUTPUT is synonymous with this option.
