Data is read from an input file per 1 record; the portion of the output suppression field is extracted,
and after being read, the data is discarded. The output field length of an output suppression field is
always 0.
The position from which the output suppression field in a record is extracted is recognized by referring
to the value specified in the Field Definition file created by the user. For details, see
Definition File" on page 44.
NOTE:
Do not specify an output field length for the output suppression function. Because an output is
suppressed, the standard Edit Option file provided is not referred to here.
