 >> I suspect that something in the runtime has changed, and since FLOAT8 
doesn't guarantee precision beyond about 15 digits, whatever change occurred 
passed validation testing.

That has to be the answer, although I think you'll find it is a microcode 
issue and not a runtime one as-such.  Coding a test in C or Java should 
confirm that it is not RPG related.

It would be interesting to see if the same difference is noted on a box that 
has a hardware floating point unit - if indeed there are such animals these 
days.
