Weight (in pounds) must be a 3-digit number in the range of 000 to 999 or blank.
Blanks are not allowed for cases diagnosed 2011 and forward.
Code the weight in pounds (three digits).
For weight less than 100 pounds, use a leading zero. For weight less than 10 pounds, use two leading zeros.
Code 999 for unknown weight.
If the value is completely blank, then convert 999; if the value includes a non-blank, non-numeric character, then convert 999; otherwise, just load the transmitted value, but right-justify and zero fill.
