ADF is a logical format. The standard setting is NADF (false).

This option tells CL to allow decimal points when reading fields from the raw data area.

VERY IMPORTANT: decimal points are only allowed when defining a variable from a field, not when testing a field (which assumes an integer value is being tested).

As with all numbers from raw data, embedded and trailing blanks are not allowed.
