The GZ (generic, zero suppression) format specification indicates that numeric values of zero are to be suppressed on output. GZ can be used with [[FORM]] statements for internal, external and display files, and it can be used with the full screen processing statements.

;Input characteristics:
When used for input, GZ is treated as [[G]].

;Output characteristics:
When used for output of numeric data, GZ operates the same as [[NZ]]. If the value of a number is zero, blanks are output instead. If the value of a number is not zero, output is like [[N]] format. Printed values are right justified, padded with blanks on the left and rounded to the specified number of decimal points.

Output from the following example would be a blank line:

00010 PRINT USING 20: 0
00020 FORM GZ 4.2

GZ can efficiently take the place of simple [[PIC]] constructions. The following two lines are equivalent except that the first is shorter to code, it stores more efficiently and it executes more quickly:

00010 PRINT USING "FORM GZ 10.2,GZ 10": A,B
00020 PRINT USING "FORM PIC( - - --. -), PIC( - - - - -)": A,B
