I wish CoBOL had a "long" type that is not limited by normal size limits. A number that can be defined with a size as long as any string the computer could handle. Sure, it would be as inefficient as heck, but occasionally it would be useful.
Languages better suited for math could use it more though. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
