If I join the virtual SHARE I would like to set up a BOF to discuss the new Binary usages (they would obviate truncation problems and picture usage discrepancy), Boolean capabilities (bit manipulation and testing), IEEE floating point usages and new decimal rounding operations such as round half to nearest even. The previous items are in the 2002 and 2014 standards. This would focus on whether we believe an installation would use them if they existed and how they could be sold to the various level of management. Some may be 40 years too late.
Would anybody be interested? Clark Morris ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
