A 40-digit decimal number? Really? The main advantage of binary integers is that they compute readily on a computer. The main advantage of decimal integers is that they are easy for humans to read. But 40-digit decimal numbers?

Any idea on how to convert the 128bit signed/unsigned binary integer to packed decimal. If anyone is working with the vector instructions on z13 please IM me. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
