Fillers are not defined in the Repository. They are used as alignment fields, and do not contain any information. Consequently, they are characterized only by their lengths. Their length is represented by the values to be entered in the Filler definition section's fields. To display the content of the Filler definition section, you must select a Filler call line in the list of called Elements. In this section, you define the length of the filler for the current Segment via the Format and Usage input fields. Redefines are possible for fillers.

The internal format must be coded like a COBOL picture (without print characters).
If the format of a numeric Data Element is more than 10 characters long, you must omit the ’9’ that would normally be entered after the ’V’ (for example: S9(10)V9(3) must be entered as S9(10)V(3)). This way of coding must not be used when the format is shorter than 10 characters.
