Re: digitsof in a declaration

Hi, again, Erik:

Further searching of the InfoCenterI found this:

To use the decimal digitsof, and precisionof macros in your code, you must specify

#include <decimal.h>

in your ILE C source.

(Did you even _try_ to search for an answer, e.g. in the InfoCenter, before asking on the C/400 list?)

HTH,

Anyone understand why I can't use the digitsof keyword in a
declaration? It's based on a decimal field in a struct that is known
at compile time so I don't see the problem.

#include<decimal.h>
#include</source/yada/tabledefs/myfile.h>

/* ... */

FLXDXYZ_MYFILE_MYFILE_both_t myrec;

char periodstring[digitsof(myrec.DECFIELD) + 1];

I get this: "Integral constant expression with a value greater than
zero is required"


Best wishes,
