The code in RXBSF.REX does only ::REQUIRE BSF.CLS without using any of its possibilities (unless some lines are uncommented) but in turn requires the Java library "libjvm.so"
It looks like the ::REQUIRE causes the sqrt function to produce a different outcome of the resulting floating point number.
When I run the code on a Windows 10 machine, the results from RXBSF.REX are correct. Rony Flatcher ran the scripts on Darwin (MacOS) and there the results were correct too.
I included the pure Rexx ::ROUTINE my_sqrt (more or less copied from Walter Pachl's rxm.cls on Rosetta.org) to verify that that works OK.
Also before calling RXBSF.REX from rxmath.rex and after returning from RXBSF.REX the results of the RxMath rxCalcSqrt function are OK again.
Seems to me that RxMath should not be impacted by another ::REQUIRE (if that is the case??).
Anybody with more system experience has some thoughts on how to tackle this? Cheers, Ruurd P.S.I have now switched to the use of Walter Pachl's very nice package (thanks Walter) that you can find here:
