Comments:
If BWZSTAR is specified, the BLANK WHEN ZERO clause is allowed with fields defined using the "*" PICTURE symbol, and BLANK WHEN ZERO is effective when the field is the target of an editing operation and the result is zero. If NOBWZSTAR is specified, a BLANK WHEN ZERO clause associated with a PIC * field is rejected.
