To Whom It May Concern: Does anybody have information regarding implementations of BCD math packages? More to the point, what types of BCD variable formats are supported (i.e. how many digits, floating point vs. fixed point, etc). I need this to evaluate a proposed format. Thanks.

A BCD - package for TARGON is planned for the end of this year ( Language C ) The number of decimal places will be max. 20 before and after the decimalpoint. The maximal precision is 31 digits. The implementation is similar to COBOL. regards G. Petersen, Dep. EG 6 UFW - 4602
