Rick, Could you help me with this bug. I'd really like to resolve it one way or another as it is the oldest open bug. But, every time I read I don't even understand it. <grin>
The doc says about format(): The number is first rounded according to standard Rexx rules, as though the operation number+0 had been carried out. So, if I do this in some Rexx code: say '>' (999999999.9999999999 + 0) I get this output: > 1.00000000E+9 The bug itself states as below. It seems to me that it is correct to round to 1.00000000E+9. There are 10 9s after the decimal. If digits is 9, isn't the rounding correct? /* Rexx *********************************** ORexx: >1000000000.00000000000000000000000000000< >1000000000.00000000000000000000000000000< Regina: >1000000000.00000000000000000000000000000< > 999999999.99999999990000000000000000000< *****************************************/ Say '>1000000000.00000000000000000000000000000<' /*1234567890 12345678901234567890123456789*/ Say '>'"FORMAT"(999999999.9999999999,10,29,30,30)'<' /* Ages ORexx on my OS/2 adds 32 spaces at the end as did classic Rexx in 1993 or so I think that Regina is correct in this case */ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Enter the BlackBerry Developer Challenge This is your chance to win up to $100,000 in prizes!
