Hi,
we have an RMS database which is created and
maintained by Pascal. Some of the fields in it
are in G_Floating-Point Double-Precision format.
It appears to me that FOCUS can only handle
D_Floating-Point Double-Precision format (by using
ACTUAL is 'D').
Am I right? Is there any way to interpret these numbers
using FOCUS?

| 360.1 | MRE has it now.... | CUCKOO::OTTEN | Si vis pacem, Pare Bellum. | Wed Aug 15 1990 04:56 | 26 |
Yes, there is.. If you unpack the save_sets for MRE (any version), and follow the post-installation tasks for FOCUS, it instructs you to relink the fuselib.exe. Among the new modules is a routine called MRE$GTOD that converts G-Floating numbers to D-Floating Numbers. In the .MAS file, You use it like: FIELD = G_FLOAT ,ALIAS= ,USAGE=D8.2 ,D8 ,$ DEFINE D_FLOAT/D8.2 = MRE$GTOD(G_FLOAT,D_FLOAT);$ The MRE Save_sets are on RELMGT::DISK$OTHER:[RELEASE.V53MIG.MRE020] or RELMGT::DISK$APPL:[RELEASE.APPL.MRE013] Hope this helps...

Re: .-1.
Well, I entered my note really as a last resort.
Many thanks David, I think you just helped us avoid
what was going to be a very long work-around. :-)
