Table 2. RAW Output Formats
Output Rule	Input Format	Output Format	Notes
Raw	12345	12345	If this output is selected and no data is passed, nothing will print. (not even a line)
Raw 7	0.123456789	0.1234567	Print number as given truncating after the seventh decimal position. No rounding; no dropping leading or trailing zeros; no filling with leading or trailing zeros.
Raw 7%	0.123456789	0.1234567%	Print number as given, truncating after the seventh decimal position with a % sign following it. No rounding; no dropping leading or trailing zeros; no filling with leading or trailing zeros.
RAW_IntDisc	-1234.56	-$1,234.56	Used to apply a minus sign [ - ] to negative numbers as opposed to containing it in parenthesis. This applies to Integrated Disclosure documents using the Integrated Disclosure style sheets. Other documents will render a negative amount within parenthesis [ ( ) ]. Also, if used but no data is included no line will print on the output.
	12.345-0%	12.345-0%	Print number as given, truncating after the third decimal position. Trailing zeros are dropped. This applies to general numbers and percents. Percents with four (4) or more places after the decimal are rounded at the third decimal place.
