What is the difference between using PIC 99V99 and PIC 99.99 when reading from a file?

PIC 99.99:
The data on your file should contain a decimal point, i.e. 44.44 should appear on the file as "44.44".
PIC 99V99:
The data on your file should not contain a decimal point, i.e. 44.44 should appear on the file as "4444".
This is because "V" represents a virtual or implied decimal point, not an actual character.
