How is it possible to write an RMS file using for numbers the VMS
datatype G_FLOATING; I know the 'D8' actual format which corresponds to
D_FLOATING on VMS. I have heard that this G_FLOATING formats exists is
supported since FOCUS V5.x but I do not find any info about it.
PS: do not refer do recent guide, I have only V1.0 manuals.
Best regards, Herve

Options: Dn where n is 1--> 15 Data is composed of digits 0-9 plus an optional decimal point. Values stored internally in double-precision floating point notiation. If the field is positive, the max length can be 16. Pn where n is 1--> 15 values are stored internally in paced deciaml format... LisaC | |||||
| 523.2 | G_FLOATING and D8 format are different ! | TPLAB::DACHSBECK | Thu Aug 06 1992 11:00 | 8 | |
The suggestions given in the first reply do not allow to generate a VMS G_FLOATING number; Dn will produce a VMS D_FLOATING which is not what required. I think that functions inside FOCUS for VMS must provide that functionality but I do not known wher to find them Philippe | |||||
