I don't recall the original problem, and gotta run.  My recollection is it
involved doing a SQUARE of something-or-other, but wasn't necessarily a
monetary calculation.  (May have been, but dunno why you'd need an exponent
of a dollar amount unless yer IBM contemplating price increases...;-D)
Granted, this is not common in biz apps (I don't recall having to need one),
but probably comes up every now and again.

I lied, and went back to original post by Scott, and example was just "two
numbers" that didn't give identical results.  I sort-a doubt they were
dollar amounts, but that wasn't specified.  (May have been in original post
to iSeries Network, which I didn't see.)

| Hans' point was that for monetary calculations float should be avoided.
